Remind yourselves that most research papers are written by career students with no real world practical experience. That is all.

Spending some time in and around applied research labs and seeing how poorly the sausage looks before it gets made into a paper is quite distressing.

I’m sure there are labs out there doing excellent work (especially those focused on theory), but most of the applied research I’ve seen up close and personal is very poor indeed.
