Is there a way we can get money for our research paper? Do research journals pay us for a research paper? Or can we sell the research paper?
Answer
Certainly Yes. There are two ways of earning money from publication:
Indirect as @seteropere explains by improving your visibility and getting higher chance of being recruited in higher quality institute with higher payment.
Direct: In many academic or even industrial institutes, researchers are being paid and are bound to perform research and publish paper in certain journals or conferences (mostly journal). If they fail, either they will be fired or will be punished. In order to avoid such experience, many are hiddenly searching for an opportunity to buy a paper in high price. Moreover, there are some universities that pay incentive to publish in journals (like US$ 2000) for each paper published. For instance, I know several people at such universities that need to improve their world ranking via publication and hence pay good money to publish in high-quality journals. But, selling or buying paper is considered unethical because we believe research is something we cannot buy. If we can buy research, it will not be research and will be a project.
