Question 14.

Option D is the correct answer. 

This is not mentioned as a reason in the passage. The focus is on staying informed, contributing to the field, and publicizing their own work, not on expanding influence. Therefore, option D is the correct answer as it is the only reason not mentioned in the passage.

Option A: The passage mentions that some academics review work to "keep abreast with developments in their field," which aligns with the idea that reviewing helps them stay updated with cutting-edge ideas. This is a valid reason.

Option B: The passage also mentions that some scientists post their reviews online "mainly to claim credit for their work," which indicates that some view reviewing as an opportunity to publicize their contributions. This is a valid reason

Option C: The passage states that some view reviewing as "a duty to the discipline," which is a form of service to the academic community. Therefore, option C is also a valid reason.
