How much can I earn by publishing an academic paper?

As our school, there is no separate contribution fee, but everyone works hard to distribute papers, because it not only involves the evaluation of scholarships, but also hopes to distribute more high-quality papers to win national scholarships for graduate students.

If it's just to make money, you should publish an A2-level periodical, that is, issue C (liberal arts). Basically, our school can apply for national scholarships, but it depends on the quality and proportion of students in the whole department every year. The national scholarship for graduate students is 20 thousand, so if you publish a C magazine, you can earn 20 thousand.

If the core of general language is distributed, this student can basically get the first-class scholarship of our school when he is promoted to two-year evaluation in one year, because there are not many papers that can be distributed at that time, and the first-class scholarship is 8000. However, the scholarships in our school offset the tuition fees. The 8,000 yuan of the first-class scholarship just offset the tuition, leaving only 4,000 yuan of the second-class scholarship, and we need to pay another 4,000 yuan of tuition ourselves. Some schools don't use these evaluation scholarships, they are all 8000, and they don't have to pay tuition fees. They only need to work hard to send papers to win national awards. Therefore, the competition between the first-class scholarship and the second-class scholarship in our school is extremely fierce every year.

So you see, sending a paper can't earn much money, unless it's SSCI or CSSCI. Ordinary graduate students issue papers first, proving that they have not studied in vain for several years, and because of the requirements of the school, they must have at least one published paper before they can graduate. The last one is to pursue a doctorate, no matter what it can bring, no matter how many good grades it has.

In fact, as a graduate student, writing a thesis is a training process, and publishing a thesis is an achievement, just like the birth of your own child. Money can't fully measure this achievement, but it brings a sense of satisfaction.
