For historical researchers, the fun is often in the research, not after the research, and in the research, researchers also need to bear considerable pressure, not to mention the already stated survival pressure, and the sense of accomplishment brought by historical research often appears long after the end of the research.
The reason is probably because the study of history is often accompanied by quite boring basic work such as searching, interpreting, screening, cross-comparing, sorting out and combing logic. If statistics are involved, it is necessary to search, process and analyze the data. If historical materials in other languages are involved, the above work should be done again on the basis of this language. This kind of work will often discourage many people, the pace of learning history will stop, and the love for history will gradually disappear.
The publication and existence of historical research results is not simple. After a research achievement is finally completed, it needs to be reviewed by experts and peers, even by the parties (especially for modern history researchers, this process is quite meaningful, but it is also very challenging).
When the paper is published, you also need to bear unlimited joint responsibility for your own research, which is different from other disciplines such as business and economics. Because the research results of history discipline have a long timeliness, researchers must bear unlimited responsibility for their own research results, because future generations need to carry out the next research on the basis of your research, and not many people are willing to bear the pressure of such academic research.
