How would it be a grift? How would the research benefit if they had to pay thousands to publish their rat penis

Researchers need to publish papers to advance in their career. Complete your pHD, get a faculty position, apply for grants, fulfill grant obligations, go up for promotion, etc... depends on publishing papers, and preferably in high impact journals.

As for the term "grift," probably not the right one to use.

Well yeah I know why researchers need to publish their research I just wasn’t sure how grifting is applicable. Unless they mean that’s what the publication is doing.

Isn't all grifting undertaken for improvement in one's material conditions?

I'm not sure how it's different
