A mí no me vas a engañar respecto a este tema, puedes insultar, usar toda la demagogia que quieras para generar thanks, etc.

En los países serios se investiga para generar dinero con el que financiarse, no sólo al equipo sino al departamento y a la institución a la que perteneces, sea pública o privada. Tú investigas, generas ingresos con los resultados para tí y para mí, y yo vuelvo a financiar tus proyectos con parte del dinero que generas.

En este país se llama investigar a recopilar artículos con resultados de otros y constatar que son ciertos cuando hace años que la comunidad científica lo ha dado por válidos ... lo que de toda la vida se ha venido llamando "revisión bibliográfica".

En España no existe la investigación. Llevar bata y recibir una beca para hacer el doctorado NO es investigar. Recibir dinero del gobierno como si fueras un saco sin fondo NO es investigar.
