Should I publish as a master’s student? I am a master’s student and have done some original research work which may not be that great.

I have asked my professor who works in that area where can I publish my work or is it at all publishable.
But he seems to be not so concerned about my work nor does he say whether I should publish it or not.
He says I might try it, but he seems more interested with his doctoral students.


What should I do?
Should I try to publish it in some journal?
If yes, how can I choose a journal?
Are there any journals which publish small works of master’s students?
The practice of preparing a piece of work for publication is, itself, worth the effort. I suggest that you write up your work as best you can. Once you have a really solid draft, ask your professor, again, for advice on it. 

However, you can still submit it to an appropriate venue, independent of the support of your professor, and that experience is also worth having. If you are lacking in any way, the editors and reviewers of the paper will give you additional advice that is independent of what you can get locally. This can help you evaluate a lot of things about both your work and your approach to it. 

If you want a career in academia, then publishing early and often is definitely a plus. The review you get helps you improve for the next time. 

But make sure you have also done a literature review to avoid embarrassment of submitting something already known. That is another valuable skill, of course. (literature review, not embarrassment).
