Why is it important to publish?
Among researchers, the saying “Publish or Perish” (i.e., publish your research or lose your career) is a threatening reminder of the importance of publication. Research and publication complement teaching and training, clinical care, and public health practice. Some valid reasons for publishing include:
- fulfilling specific job requirements by employers that include promotion to a higher position
- professional accreditation as in continuing medical education
- improving the prospects of a grant application
- gain recognition and acknowledgement as an expert in a particular field
Publication in peer-reviewed journals also gives international recognition for an individual, department, university, and/or institutions. NATCO offers members the opportunity to develop writing and research skills in order to achieve the recognition afforded by publishing.
