Reputation - Looks good on your CV, when applying for jobs or bidding for work
Peer review during publishing process and from readers leads to new insights but also from process of writing the paper as you generally examine work more closely or as you think of ways to explain it
Networking – find out what other people are doing that could inform you work or with whom you could collaborate
Better writing skills – better bids, client reports, job applications
