William Siegfried –

“the people doing practice aren’t doing the research and aren’t doing the writing. Writing general interest articles,

something that is catchy and gets you publicity when you’re marketing yourself to clients, private practices would like to show off an article that they did because it impresses people, lots of self publishing as in publishing your own

books, outside of the university it’s for publicity.”
