Guest guest Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Hi, My purpose is to convince you to agree with me! Give me a chance. Let me try. This is from my heart. The point under consideration is why to publish. And I understand that you are challenging or do I call teasing/testing us because I have personal knowledge of your involvement in research and publications. Arin - please do a google on Kunda Gharpure and come up with the findings! Writing keeps you one up. You are known for your work to the readers. None bothers otherwise for any particular person whose existence as a non-researcher and non-writer is a sheer waste to the science. Think, why do we get paid so much salary? For inefficiency, incompetence, nonperformance, wasting our time? If research and publications are built in the job then better perform and deliver. And deliver good. Leave a mark on the stone that you were alive and throbbing in professional life when you survived. Otherwise many come, join good jobs, take fat salaries, live insignificant professional life, and go, and this world does not remember them. Their survival does not contributes in any way to the growth and spread of knowledge. If I was to take decisions for any organisation, I will go all out to extend best facilities and working conditions for the researchers and surely ensure that they get paid better and their other needs. Such persons will not only get preference in employment but also will be considered as special for retention. Bothering for commas and semicolons for publishing a MS can not be the reason to put off any motivated person. Attention to finer details helps in coming out with best output. Human life is such. We do pay attention to other smaller details in social survival. Our dressing, colour combinations, make-up, presentation, speech, choice of words, timeliness, sincerity, smile all add up to make the individual personality. If we are not concerned for smaller details then why do we do all this? So why not attention to the style and needs of the journal? If the job demands to publish, better do it well. While the times may not have come for developing countries, the future will ensure that the dictum of " publish or perish " is enforced. Hi, Kunda mam. Was Vijay convincing?
