Breaking into the Publication Bubble

It seems as though there is an awkward, unspoken line between Master's and PhD students that publish or do not publish. I am finishing my Master's in a program that does not encourage students to do much research or consider publication. However, I am starting a PhD program in the Fall where I know several of the students have multiple publications.

When I ask people about publishing, it either seems second nature to them and they forget important details (i.e. my boss) or some students want to keep a competitive advantage and don't want to sit down and explain how to go about doing it.

Any resources you all could recommend on how to do this? I know several other students that would appreciate this as well.

Read the submission guidelines for a few major journals in your field. What do they have in common? What idiosyncracies do individual journals have?

Tighten up your potential submission as much as you can for the journal you want to send it to, but recognize that--**no matter what**--editors & reviewers are going to have critical feedback intended to help strengthen it further. This is a good thing.

Come to terms with the fact that sometimes this feedback is phrased in a way that stings. It's ok to be frustrated/pissed off at this. We've all gotten it. Part of the process is moving past it and figuring out how to use that feedback productively.
