Why publish?

Why should you go through all of the work required to get your paper published? Publishing your paper means that your work is added to the professional literature. As the basis of science is building on other people's work, your paper becomes the next step in the evolution of the topic. Having it be peer reviewed, means other professionals who are experts on the topic have given you advice and helped you to make it a true contribution.

Publishing is also a step in getting yourself recognized as an expert in your own right. It establishes that you are a professional and knowledgeable about your field. Publishing is not an easy task, it often requires careful work and the willingness to put your work in front of experts, but it is worth it in the long run!
