I have found unlike writing a book, researchers do not get paid for writing a quality research paper in the form of a royalty or author fees, few journals are changing this conventional model of "Author pays" and are offering up to 500 $ for publishing in their Journal, this news requires further validation, but such initiatives are good for promoting quality research and to motivate young researchers having economic constraints.

"An open-access journal is paying "royalties" to corresponding authors of published papers"
Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncology (MISO), an open-access journal, is making an unusual offer to the authors publishing in the journal. The journal’s site states: “For each accepted original or review article, Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncology pays $500 in royalties to the corresponding author.”

Hello Gaurav H Tandon
I have never yet come across something like this... it would be a terrific idea. I can see that journals would not like this because it would drop their profits a lot!!
I do not know any scientific journal which pays the authors, only popular science journals (and some science journalists make a living out of it). See also: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Do_you_know_the_journals_which_paid_royalties_to_authors
