There is another dimension to this problem; universities in developing countries are pushed to match what their colleagues in developed nations are publishing.

There is another dimension to this problem; universities in developing countries are pushed to match what their colleagues in developed nations are publishing. In doing this professors where I am currently studying (Brazil) foist off research on undergrads and masters students. The system gets even more ludicrous when it comes to translation and publication, but that is a tangential issue.
