Hmm? The research they conduct?
The publisher doesn't pay for the research. Generally speaking, universities (that is, in most cases, governments) pay for the research.
Scientists nor their institutions usually get paid for the articles. Their "payment" is exposure. Often, even the reviewers don't get paid.
These days, many journals even charge authors for publication.
