So much for putting advancing scientific knowledge first, as opposed to making sure you're the first to publish something. A very bad side effect of scientists

So much for putting advancing scientific knowledge first, as opposed to making sure you're the first to publish something.
A very bad side effect of scientists only caring about published results, not acquiring the raw data needed for those published results.
- bjelkeman-again 12y agoAll the incentives in the current scientific system are pushing scientist that way. It is sad, but I think it is a bit unfair to say that the "scientist only care about published results". That is a little like saying a musician only care about money because they copyright their songs and publish on iTunes. I think both scientists and musicians care a lot about music and science, despite how the current system works.
