In a roundabout way, yes a researcher does get paid for their publications but not directly. Universities exist on their reputation and their reputation is determined, in part, from the publications their researchers make. So a researcher who publishes a lot of high quality publications has a better chance of being offered a position at an institution with a good reputation, which can offer to pay them more.

PRETTY much. partially it gatekeeps undergrad too, if you want a job outside at the BS level, you would want to be published. useful for applying to PHD programs too. you also probably want to get some extracurricular research experience outside your master program too, if you are planning on no taking a PHD PROGRAM.

That’s what research grants are for.

no, its property of the university/PI you are working under, you just get your name recognized on the paper, that translate as an entry in your CV/resume, scientist is willing to sacrifice that autonomy to have the CV being filled with published papers. apparently its quantity over quality, which is another topic as far as papers go. and i heard some people have to write dozens of papers just to get noticed by employers/universities on thier CV.

Yea and idk about other parts of the world, but in Romania, the publishing fee is paid in full by the university if the researcher is part of a doctorate or masters programme… So it’s just science institutions trading money between each other here…
