  Step 1. Write crappy paper
  Step 2. Seek peer review. 
  Step 3. Wait months for peer review
  Step 4. Apply to journals for publish
  Step 5. Wait months for journal publish
  Step 6. Add paper to CV
Most research papers are garbage, and almost completely ignored, unless it can be used as a cite in a similar crappy paper. The major journals aren't going to take your paper unless you already have a reputation, or you're connected to someone with a reputation. They aren't going to take a poorly thought out provocation piece from a nobody, when they are swamped with poorly written garbage from researchers trying to make tenure.
