- tedmiston 10y agoIn any case, it is what many research professors are evaluated by, that and how much grant money they bring in. I always thought I would enjoy doing research on the bleeding edge, but doing that research isn't what matters for your success in that industry. Citations and funding are "traction" in academia and I don't see anything displacing that, whether we like it or not.
