I think it is not direct relationship between experience and research paper publishing!
A person may research but does not display his/her results in the scientific community for some reasons such as patent or working area and employee ; on the other hand, another may choose to publish his/her research output for the scientific community.
We must put a clear distinction between one having research experience and one publishing academic papers. A person may research but does not display his/her results in the scientific community; on the other hand, another may choose to publish his/her research output for the scientific community. In this situation they all have the research experience but one chooses to make his research known.
Research experience and knowledge has little to do with the number of publications. There some who work in secret for governmnets and big business that will never be allowed to publish! The first Atomic Bomb project, Apple iPhone, etc. are just a few examples.
If no papers, technical reports etc. are published, then, research experience, in a manner of speaking, is invisible, if not equal to zero. But, is this really the point, generally speaking?
However every good research is disseminated by good research papers.
example is of crop breeders who evolve varieties of different criops and varieties.
From their research , new genotypes get into life but it is difficult to express it in a paper.Only short note or short communication is sufficient unless some GM crop is not there.
So if some one is doing good research,publishing papers is not always possible and hence I feel it not a necessary component.
This is a good person Dr. There is a lot of research experience gained over the years by academics even if they do not get to publish their work. However such experience needs to be recorded and evaluated. The only way one subjects himself or herself to such evaluation is through publication. So while we are aware that one gathers loads of reseaerch experience over time, Publication remains the only way one gets recognized.
However, I sympathise with colleagues who do a lot of teaching and community service and do not get recognized for such. Since the pillars of academic work hinge on teaching, research, and community service, i strongly feel that universities must promote on the basis of one or some of these 3 criteria
Experience is the greatest teacher & to gain from experience it always retains with us ,within us with our guiding force of our mind & brain .With this we are aware that knowledge is power - knowledge has no limit whatever the knowledge we have gained whether it is pertaining to research or for any contributory action , publication of any measure including paper , are not an end in itself . Our contribution ,our knowledge are to remain a part of our achievement either for our career or any progressive action .
For a young researcher, published papers are used as a proof of experience. The famous scientists aren't need to publish paper to recognize their experience.

It is common practice to link scientific publishing and points as evidence of experience, and this is not true for generations of pre-Internet scientists, scopus and others. Some ancient professors have hundreds of research but in obscure technical publications and in languages other than English, thier name not in SCOPUS, this does not mean they do not have the experience
For seasonal evaluation yes it equal to zero ,but for personal experience it represent a good factor helping in understanding and interpreting phenomenon and help in solving problems .On the other hand researchers with unpublished researches have no excuse for this case.
Does research experience equal to zero if no papers are published?
Depends how you define "research experience". E.g. if research experience refers to exposure to learning of research life-cycle, methodology etc. then research experience might not be zero especially for those that have such experience & had completed their post-graduate research project / thesis but no single paper is published.
If research experience refers to how many papers published then, you might say it is zero. Because people that gone through learning of research life-cycle / methodology etc. should not be concluded their research experience is zero.
Research experience in any form whether private or public does not equate to zero. However, personally, I believe in the showcasing of research findings through publications for them to be utilized in solving the problems in the society and as basis for future research.
Sometimes researchers are too consumed with implementing their innovations, especially in industry that they do not have the time to publish. Engineers, for example, do a lot of applied research in finding solutions to problems, but they do not always publish at the same rate.
