It's time people realize that a great deal of scientific papers are just written as a requirement to finish a masters/doctors degree, or are just about meeting the yearly publication quotas of the department. I know very proficient writers that probably haven't written a single article worth reading.
- PeterStuer 7y agoWhile there are many things extremely wrong with the quantitative output requirements of modern science, arguing that "a great deal of scientific papers are just written as a requirement to finish a masters/doctors degree" is somehow a bad thing is not sincere. For many their PhD thesis is probably both the most laborious and the most scrutinized piece of work they will have to produce.
