I heard first hand accounts from multiple people of running into a different set of problems (from academia) publishing papers in corporations. Publishing is never simple or easy. If you have concrete examples, or better, generally recognized studies that show there is an objectively better way to do research, I'd very like to know that.
Because, as an PhD who knows dozens of other PhDs in both academia and industry, and who has never heard of this magic new approach to doing science, it would be quite a surprise.

- eru 2y agoI wasn't talking about publishing, I was talking about doing science. Publishing can be one part of doing science, but it's not the end-and-be-all. And yes, I have no idea how great corporate research or military research etc are, I just brought them up as examples of research outside of academia that we can look to and perhaps learn something from. (And I also strongly suspect research at TSMC will be very different from research at Johnson & Johnson and that's very different from how Jane Street does research. So not all corporate research is the same.) > Because, as an PhD who knows dozens of other PhDs in both academia and industry, and who has never heard of this magic new approach to doing science, it would be quite a surprise. And why would you expect your PhD friends to hear from that? PhD's are very much in academia, and very much embedded in academia's publish-or-perish.
