Role and importance of journal reader: Scientific contribution of letter to editor

Letters to the editor are not often considered high in the publication hierarchy but they contribute immensely to the growth and development of any discipline and scientific examination. In many academic settings, letters to editors are not accounted for promotion and career advancement. However, letter to editor publications by active readers are no lesser contribution to science and they should be considered of equal stature and at par with other published manuscript types.
