Because it’s the right thing to do? Lmao, right? Who would be stupid enough to even consider doing anything but playing the clout games.

- watwut 5y agoDoing it means you will have to leave academia is the point. Your performance is measured in published papers - how much you published and where. Not publishing means you are not producing which means not being hired after.
- f6v 5y agoI don’t think it’s that black and white. What you publish is more important than where at least in some fields.
- adrianN 5y agoIf you don't publish it in the right venue nobody will read it, which means nobody will cite it, which means you did the work for nothing. At least in all fields where I know people.
- f6v 5y agoThere’re also articles in prestigious journals that aren’t getting any citations. There’re other ways to engage people with your research.
- zalequin 5y agoSounds utterly insane.
- watwut 5y agoMore then that. Academia is hyper competitive. It is kind of pyramid with huge amount of smart hard working people falling out on every level. It is difficult to get position, so if you want to stay in, you need to keep your record perfect.
