If you work in the academia, you probably already heard people talking about publishing goals. <\/span><\/p>\n

The science world can be quite odd. Most of the times we talk about science as a noble lifestyle of seeking knowledge. We want to understand why things are the way they are and simply contribute to a better world. Right? Right.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, if this is our purpose as scientists, why do we act differently? And by differently, please read the complete opposite.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hear quite often about publishing goals. If you are a student, maybe you don\u2019t feel quite the pressure of publishing many papers in one year. However, if you are an advisor or a researcher responsible for a laboratory, things are a bit different.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scientists have the need to achieve publishing goals in order to show productivity, maintain fundings, show they are doing a good job, etc. However, all these science information really go somewhere? It doesn\u2019t seem like it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Actually, most of the papers published never get read by more than ten people – that counting the authors, revisors and, let\u2019s be a little optimistic here, friends and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Do<\/a><\/p>\n

So why do we keep a goal that makes no sense at all? Shouldn\u2019t our goal should be impacting the society with our findings? Or contributing for science communication?<\/span><\/p>\n

A new role in the academia may be rising: the translator. A person that can make all scientific information accessible and easy to understand to the society. Can you imagine the routine this new professional would have?<\/span><\/p>\n

Another option is scientists starting caring about how to make their research more approachable by lay people or people from outside their studying field.<\/span><\/p>\n

How about you? Can you think of a solution for the academia productivity?<\/span>\"Do<\/a>This post was based on “Universidade sitiadas<\/a>” by Carta Capital<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
