Answer 2

Anyone can publish papers and get patents.  However, it helps to be a scientist from a recognized research institution.  You will see why if you keep reading.

1.  A person does some research, follows the scientific method, and comes to a conclusion.

2.  They write a report, according to the directions of the journal (a science magazine that publishes papers).

3. The journal will want to know if the research was done according to accepted scientific standards and if the scientist knows what he or she is doing, and if the laboratory had the equipment, and if scientific methods were done correctly, and if other scientists (especially other scientists who know the scientist. This is called "in-house review") reviewed the work and approved of the paper.

4.  Then the paper is sent out to other scientists all over the world in the area of specialty.  These scientists are usually well known and have agreed to serve this duty.  They are called referees.  It could be only 3, or it might be 10, depending on the journal.  The paper is returned to the original scientific author.  It could be out right rejected.  It could be accepted with changes or clarifications, or, very unusually, it could be accepted as is.  This back and forth happens maybe 2 or 3 times

5.  Then the journal agrees to publish the paper.  The laboratory or university where the work was done usually pays for the cost of publication.  These are called page charges.

If you are from a well known university or laboratory, then the journal will more readily accept your paper for publication.  For instance, if you are a scientist at the University of California, it is well known that their screening process (when they hired you) is very tough.  In most cases you must be a good scientist to get hired.  Furthermore, their continuing standards are very tough.  Also, they have a very rigorous "in-house review".  Last, the scientists there with you are good too, so the "in-house review" is usually more tough than the national or international review.  If you are on your own, and have a laboratory only in your kitchen, and no one has given you credentials, for instance if you do not have a doctorate, and you have no proof that you did good work or that you have not after all made it up, then the going is tough.  Of course, even well known scientists from well known places can and have lied.

As far as getting a patent, anyone can invent something. It must be novel and not something that would occur to other people.  There are tests for novelty.  Look this up on wikipedia.  You write up a description of your invention good enough for the patent office to understand what you invented.  You make at least one claim, which is actually a description.  For example  "What is claimed is a drug that has as its main components iodine and salt, heated to 250 F".  The patent must follow a general order, but it is not rigid, just so the patent office can understand.  The person who examines your patent application is called an examiner.  After reviewing your patent application, he or she will reject it and give the exact reasons, or will request clarification, or very rarely, accept it with no changes.  This process usually takes a year.  If you use a patent lawyer who knows how to write patents, this will help because the patent will be written in the language of the patent examiner.  If you do it yourself, it costs only a few hundred dollars. If you use a lawyer, it usually costs about $5000.

Answer 3

Science isn't patentable, so most patents go to engineers.  The recognition of a scientist depends on the quality of their work and the significance of their discoveries.  The financial reward for an inventor often depends more on luck and how well they can protect their ideas and turn them into a commercially viable business.  Read some biographies and you'll get a better understanding.
