Matthew Effect: Difference between revisions

In academia, established researchers often hold positions of authority and visibility, which can make it easier for them to garner recognition for the work conducted by graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and other colleagues. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including the Principal Investigator's role in securing funding, providing guidance, and shaping the direction of the research. In some cases, the contributions of graduate students or postdoctoral scholars may be overshadowed or downplayed, leading to a situation where their work is attributed primarily to their advisors. This is particularly disadvantageous to the students who actually conducted the research when it comes to career advancement and recognition within the academic community.
