If you're talking about a scientific study, the researcher received his piece of pie before he completed the work. Usually the way it works is one applies for grants, which offer them funding. In order to obtain future grants, one must frequently publish their research. No rational-minded research scientist expects their name to be quoted every time their research is mentioned in a non-academic setting. They expect someone to mention the journal wherein it was published, or the institution where the research took place.
