If you work in tech at a level high enough, then conferences, white papers, technical reports and so on are part and parcel of the job. All these generally coalesce into 1-2 academic-like papers per year for important journals in your field.

It is not a given that comes with a degree, though, so a gentle nudge is not enough.
