“The reasons to publish are
obvious: to increase your academic
profile,to put your work before your
peers, to network with other scholars,
and most of all to make
yourself more competitive in
this dire academic job market.
Anything to set you apart from
the hundreds of other under-
employed scholars is critical.” Richard Reis, Stanford
