This document provides guidance on developing one's work for publication in academic journals. It discusses various stages of the publication process from initial drafting and feedback from colleagues through multiple rounds of revisions. Key tips include choosing a journal based on its audience, writing about topics of interest while attracting readership, following each journal's formatting guidelines, and proofreading submissions carefully. Interactive exercises are also outlined to help workshop participants practice writing titles, abstracts, and providing peer feedback within short time limits to develop skills for academic publication.
