Science is Competitive

Publish Or Perish Environment

Scientists work in a publish or perish environment. All scientists must conduct new and original research and publish the results regularly in order to keep their jobs, get raises, or be eligible for promotions. Scientists are constantly looking for new things to research.

Coming up with new research projects is extremely difficult. If a scientist must publish 2 or 3 articles a year and it takes 3 to 6 years to get each article, the scientist and his students must have 6 to 12 projects going at all times.


So it's all about keeping their jobs and justifying their funding?
