A genuine question is being asked: Why have I chosen to write and publish my thoughts as LinkedIn articles?
I am fully aware of how editorial decisions are often made (by our worthy editors of Indian Journals), what gets published, who gets heard, and, more importantly, who is quietly overlooked.
In my experience, even well-conceived ideas may not always receive the thoughtful consideration they deserve. Many capable clinicians and independent voices remain unheard, not necessarily because of a lack of merit, but due to structural and systemic (selectively applied)limitations within academic publishing.
At the same time, internationally recognized open-access journals frequently demand substantial publication fees, often running into thousands of dollars, or align closely with prevailing industry narratives. Even when submitted, manuscripts can remain under review for months, only to be rejected without meaningful engagement.
Rather than allow these ideas to remain confined or delayed, I chose a more direct and transparent path. LinkedIn offers an immediate platform to share clinical reflections, invite discussion, and engage with colleagues who are actively involved in patient care.
My intent is simple: to place my thoughts and observations before fellow clinicians, not as definitive conclusions, but as thoughtful reflections grounded in real-world practice. I invite my colleagues and friends to read, reflect, and share their perspectives on the articles I have recently published on my LinkedIn page.đ
