Amol Akhade: Why should oncologists who are not into Academic institutions publish scientific papers?

Amol Akhade, Senior consultant medical oncologist and hemato-oncologist at Suyog Cancer Clinics and Reliance Hospitals, shared a post on X:

“Why should oncologist who are not into University/ academic institutions publish scientific papers? I understand those who are in academic jobs need this to SHOW the research done by them for promotion/increments etc.

What’s in it for others? Do vote and discus.

Academic recognition makes up 49% of the motivation, while the joy of writing accounts for 35.5%. Impressing patients follows with 3.6%, and influencing pharma comes in at 11.8%.

Does your patients ask or looks for your H score or publications when he or she decides to take treatment under your care?”
