Popis: There is a rapidly mounting propensity towards incorporating structured scientific research training into undergraduate medical education.1 As a result, undergraduate medical students participate in various curricular faculty-mentored and student-run scholarly research projects. Some students produce, to a greater degree, technically correct and scientifically sound pieces of literature that can be potentially transformed into valuable publications. However, not many students have the chance to disseminate their curricular research activities through publications to the scientific community. Two legitimate questions pop up in mind: 1) what is the reason behind this production-outcome mismatch, and 2) who should be held responsible?
