Step 4: Publish papers in prestigious journals, make connections with prestigious scholars and/or present at prestigious conferences. This is the part where researchers are able to exchange their ideas and results to the masses through journals and conferences. It is important to present your work at conferences for several reasons. It allows a researcher to contribute or learn about other research done in the same field of study, meet other researchers which can be resourceful in later years of your career, and you learn how to talk about your work. Publication allows others to view the performed research and your findings. If your work is accepted for publication, then there is an agreement that your work is credible. Other researchers can benefit from your findings and may be used in further research. (Packer)
