I wonder how researchers get paid for their research or publications. I have not come across anyone who got paid for their publications. I need more light in this regard. Responses and enlightenment are welcome.
A funding model of research in which every researcher is a private entrepreneur and is paid for every single publication cannot work. There would be far too few buyers for these publications. That is why research is paid for by the state, by foundations and by industry. This funding includes the publication of the results.
