1.2 WHY WRITE AND PUBLISH A PAPER?
- Altruism:
Peer-reviewed publications are the predominant method today for disseminating and archiving scientific advances. Science grows and advances through a communal collection of knowledge that is constantly being challenged, revised, and expanded. Most scientists have a strong desire to contribute to the advancement of their field, which is often their primary reason for becoming a scientist. The scientific publication is usually the most straightforward way to make such a contribution, and it is thus highly motivating to most scientists.
Self-interest:
Publishing can also bring tangible benefits to an author, thus providing a self- interested motivation for writing and publishing a paper. Publishing may be required for career advancement and is frequently accompanied by direct or indirect monetary rewards. The familiar “publish or perish” paradigm in academia adds a proverbial stick to the carrot of career advancement. But even without these obvious professional motivations, almost all human beings crave recognition for their efforts. When we published in a scientific journal, we will get pride, respect, and gratification. The published paper might be cited as a reference, being accessed worldwide and archived forever.
