This document provides guidance on publishing academic papers. It discusses why publishing is important, what types of papers one can write, where to target publications, when researchers are ready to publish, who should be authors on a paper, and how to go through the publication process. The key steps outlined are identifying a publication opportunity, framing the paper and its contribution, writing drafts, getting feedback, handling revisions, and submitting the paper before a deadline. Conferences are suggested as a good starting point for getting feedback, while journals have higher standards but provide more lasting recognition. Supervisors can provide guidance on positioning work and navigating the publication process.
