How to Become a Public Intellectual: Publish Your Academic Papers Online!

Published by G. Stolyarov II at 6:00 am under Education Edit This

Most of the people reading this post have likely written some kind of academic paper for some subject in the past. It is a shame that so much quality writing in Western academic institutions only gets seen by two people – the student authoring it and the instructor grading it. A good paper – be it a paper that receives an A grade or one that makes original, creative intellectual contributions – is good enough to be read not just by one other person, but by the general public. Do not think that the world has little to gain from your work. You will often be surprised regarding who finds your paper and how your insights might be developed and applied by other people. I certainly have been surprised in this respect many times as a consequence of publishing my writings. There is no major opportunity cost to publishing your papers, either. On the Internet, publishing is free, almost instantaneous, and highly customizable.

Please let me know if this message has inspired you to publish any of your works. I will be happy to read them and perhaps even spread them to a wider audience if you e-mail me at gennadystolyarovii@yahoo.com

Sincerely,
Gennady Stolyarov II

    I’ll go through my cabinets and see if I can find any papers that would be appropriate. Thanks a lot for the idea.
