It is advisable. It helps a lot. I remember while we were graduating from our first degree our supervisor requested for a manuscript as an extract from our project from each of us after some tutoring, to be used for practical guide while other supervisors wrote their papers without engaging their students. In actual fact, that of the former helped a lot during postgraduate study and still helpful.
If at Msc and PhD levels we think it does not matter, it is like accumulating stresses for future supervisors. A lot would be missed while we take it unimportant. Motivation is a great privilege to benefit. Another important benefit is that, it may help in admission processes esp in a group of multiple applicants for postgraduate studies at any world class University, particularly PhD, which may serve as an added advantage.

Science is a constant search and sharing of knowledge, supposedly in a collaborative effort. Such knowledge becomes valid once it is published. Publishing science is the researcher’s way of making their discoveries known, allowing for progress in various directions: either certain questions can be further studied in more extensive projects, or knowledge can be applied to healthcare or technology development, for example. Without a publication, it is as if such knowledge did not exist. However, publications became not only a part of the scientific process, they became mandatory to succeed in the highly competitive environment of academic research...
