In his article "The Pressure to Publish: A Graduate Student's Personal Plea" (Teaching of Psychology; v10 p177-78 1983), D. R. Fox took the position that pressure on college students to publish research results in many negative consequences. An alternative view that describes benefits of pressure to publish is presented here. (RM)
