It's ridiculous because papers formatting restricts scientists from being able to share the content that makes the work reproducible. "Publish or perish," the model that causes scientists to push unrealistically high publishing output in order to gain funding, forces scientists to push theoretically intriguing work that is not reproducible... And ultimately the public suffers. (Most foundational R&D is publicly funded.) Fun fact, my friend is a PhD chemist - says if you try to reproduce any reaction from a bunch of Chinese authors, almost 100% guarantee that it will fail. China's publish or perish model is far worse than the US or EU. It's just sad.
