Many professions demand their practitioners publish studies and ongoing "works" in their particular fields to keep themselves up to date and if they are in academia, to add to the prestige of the institutions they are affiliated with.
It is this illogical display of "busy work" the great burgeoning load of pap is brought forth for public and student consumption, keeping publishing houses busy, and the public totally confused as to "what were they thinking?"
I guestimate there is very little of worth except perhaps as fortune cooking material.
