Why should I publish? I wonder that question again and again, and to be honest, I don't have any suitable answer yet. It's been a long time since I decided to make a PhD and to begin to publish scientific papers. I don't know if it's worth it. I've found this article useful because I firmly believe it's the librarian who encourages me constantly to catch up with my duties of publishing, although sometimes I cannot see the point of why I should invest as much effort in publishing, rather than procrastinating. The first aim of scientific publication is to build and share knowledge. Above this romantic, idealistic thinking, it must be clear to us our true motivations to publish, because over it, we have personal motivations. It's beneficial to us. Such a very good article made me to write more on this subject, so I eventually wrote a post to add a few thoughts to those mentioned in this paper: http://www.rafalinux.com/thesis/articles/25/why-should-i-publish Thank you.
