With what money exactly? I mean really big research groups may have some kind of coordinator job now but book projects are unpaid even for us and smaller grants barely pay to keep whatever project is for alive. It‘s the humanities in 2025.

No not every paper but if I edit a book with 60 authors I have to get across the finish line with a big publisher - it‘s a project. And an unpaid one to boot. If I get a big research grant and hire people? It‘s well, a project. So honestly, it depends.

I don‘t know you need to speak to a gynecologist. But obviously only if you feel it is actually impacting you negatively!
