It basically is a formality at this level. Many top math researchers now hardly even submit to journals at all and just put up a preprint.
At this scale, peer review happens by the audience. They don't need a journal to get people reviewing their work.
None of this is true.
Uh, care to explain? I have several colleagues that stopped submitting to journals once they reached full professor. They only submit papers from their students for the benefit of their careers. First-author papers, not so much.
