What is an SCI paper?

What is the difference between SCI and SSCI?
SCI stands for Science Citation Index, a multidisciplinary citation index.

Those journals indexed by SCI and SSCI are described as the world’s leading journals.
Can you publish research without a PhD?
Yes, it’s possible to get a paper published without having a PhD: PhD students do it all the time. Submitted papers are supposed to be evaluated according to what they say, not who said it.
Can anyone publish a scientific paper?

Which is better Scopus or SCI?

Can you make money in academia?
Beyond these items, academics can of course apply for second jobs just like anyone else, but this is rare, since academic work tends to bleed into weekends and holidays already. So in summary, the vast majority of university professors do not earn money beyond their salary (in nontrivial amounts).
