In fact, we’ve all heard the phrase “publish or perish” when it comes to academia. There is also a lot of stress among professors who cannot keep up with the need to publish research papers solidly and quickly, while continuing to teach their various classes. Not only that, but your research papers should be somewhat cutting edge and at the forefront of your area of ​​expertise in that scientific niche.

Some professors get really good at it, publishing articles, that is, since they use a specific format and have graduate students helping them, and they can pull those articles out effortlessly. Sometimes it amazes me. But, for me, they are time consuming and the editing is tedious and slow. Now of course I am not an academic or a scientific researcher, although I lead a group of experts and therefore I am constantly interacting and interacting with the academic world, even though I have a slight disdain for having left school. to direct my work. company in my 20s.

There are many students who would love to study science, be it pseudoscience or social science, or hard science. Some choose not to stay in the academic field or become professors because they are intimidated by the stress of constantly having to publish scientific papers and write research papers. In many ways, writing research papers and staying in the flow of production is as much an art as it is a science. Those who do well at this will eventually start teaching permanently and enjoy a well-paid, successful and rewarding career as an academic teacher, those who don’t like the quote says; It will perish.

Over the years, I have met many researchers who were quite prolific and have written over 100 research papers, often writing them with their graduate students and duly signing their name on the job as a researcher or principal scientist. This is one way to do it, and maybe the academic students will do all the work, along with all the editing and formatting to make sure it is exactly correct by academic standards, or at the request of any scientific journal or academic conference. are being presented. It sure helps if someone else can do most of the tedious work, and the academic teacher can focus on their specific area or niche of science.

Best of all, if you become the recognized leader in the field and don’t start too many wars, you will go through the peer review process very easily and quickly as the most authoritative source on the subject. If you are planning to become a lifelong scholar in the encapsulated world of higher education, perhaps you should consider all of this and not be intimidated by the grand buildings or obstacles one must traverse in order to stay in the flow of the publish or perish world. . . Consider all of this and think about it.
