> If Shell's scientists publish a paper

A lot of companies reward employees for publications. Mine certainly does. Also an oil company may not be such a great example since they directly and covertly rewarded scientists for publishing papers undermining climate change research.



Ok. Bad example using Shell, but the point is that Industry scientists do not have publication in journals as a primary incentive.

A scientist can work in industry research and NEVER publish, and still have a career where they make money, and don't worry about losing their job.
