Academics are constantly faced with the overwhelming pressure to enter the commonly tread cycle of publish, get grant, publish, get grant… This publish-or-perish mentality perpetuates the idea that to continue doing research, you need to keep publishing, preferably in high-impact journals.

Working in academia comes with a lot of freedom. Researchers are afforded opportunities to shape their research project in a way that allows them to explore avenues that truly interest them. This is often the major draw for a career in research: the ability to get ‘sucked into’ the research and just work away at it. 

Researchers are perpetually competing to have their findings published, striving to have their findings published quickly to establish priority and to avoid being scooped.

Ei Compendex is one such source that acts as the backbone of engineering research. It serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and professionals in the field of engineering.
