Title: Beginner's Guide to Publishing Research. Society for Freshwater Science emerging mayfly logo. 

1) Read widely in different journals: Active reading will make you a better writer. Develop a structured reading practice. Reflect on options for structuring papers and elements that make a paper easy or difficult to understand.

2) Figure out your 'story': Draft your main messages and clearly identify your target audience. 

3) Identify a list of target journals (3-5): Not all journals are the same. There are scientific society journals, non-profit and for-profit journals, more and less discipline-specific journals. Where have you seen similar research published?

4) Assemble your skeleton: Focus your initial writing on the most important paragraphs 1) the last paragraph of the introduction and 2) the first paragraph of the discussion. Create parallel structure for your manuscript. 

5) Pay attention to journal's guidelines: Mind maximum word counts, figure and table numbers, etc.

6) Plan your time well: the publishing process can be a long and slow road, often > 1 year.

7) Develop your process for working with co-authors: learn to manage in multiple directions (up, down, horizontally)

8) Avoid taking reviewer's comments personally: respond systematically (consider formatting responses in a table) and thoroughly; consider declining irrelvant comments. 

9) Consider writing and publishing as a social activity: Talk about your ideas, share drafts, participate in community writing blocks; find your most effective writing spaces and times. 

10) Recognize that writing is iterative and requires practice: try to write daily. Even seasoned writers get better over time.

The Society for Freshwater Science and its journal Freshwater Science are committed to supporting first time authors. For more information about the society or its journal, visit our website https://freshwater-science.org
