Anyone that’s published or is about to publish scholarly journal articles?
What are benefits or reasons one should consider publishing their peer reviewed work? Do you feel that it helps in finding jobs, or just broadens your perspective on the topics you research? Do you research topics that have been researched very little, or just get an idea and go with it? Any thoughts on the values of submitting an article for publication?
Depends on where your career will take you. Having both academic and professional press publications can catch the eye of an HR department, especially when the recruiters are not technical. They can also be a turn off to some companies, who see a distinction between academics and people who actually get things done.
If you ever want to work for a University (employee or grad student), then they are a key requirement.
I’ve been tempted to write on a topic which is totally outside my resume. I think if I do, I won’t be listing it.
Peer review journals are loosing it, in many areas. In astrophysics, you get full peer credit for posting on lightly moderated lists, without the time delay or expense of the print journals. (Physics Review charges the author per page.)
Getting your name out, being found on Google searches, can be helpful.
