As an undergrad, I understand my motivations for my group publishing papers: that my name could be on one which would help me get into grad school; similar to the motivations of an assistant professor hoping to get tenure.
Everyone I meet seems in a rush to get good results and publish them. My question is, why would a tenured professor be in a rush to publish papers? Is it a matter of pride and fame, or do you get money when you publish a paper? When a professor makes an extremely useful discover, does he get paid any more than his salary from the University?
