Just two tangential points on this topic that I've been mulling about and
bouncing off my local colleagues.
1. First, the papers we produce are not our research, they are but
advertisements of our research. We all know very highly cited papers whose
underlying quality of data may not match the el
You’re missing the point - athletes like to play sports and some
scientists like to review manuscripts. It is the enjoyment that drives
them, not the money.

The problem is not whether or not we are being paid. We are paid by our home
