Absolutely untrue of the papers I have tried to read lately.
Nobody reads the damn things and promotion is based on the weight of ink per annum.
In most fields, one produces a turgid 22 page monster every month, regardless of whether one has anything to say. In view of the overlap with the other eleven produced in the year, a bit more work could have folded them all into the same 3 pages. But that bit would have cost more than a year and you would have been fired by then. My favourite lately was on grape growing, so none of you will have seen it.
