Publishing your first paper feels daunting, but the path is more systematic than it appears.
Begin with a focused, answerable question. A narrow well-defined study is far more publishable than an ambitious one that never finishes.
Involve a mentor early and agree on authorship before you start. Clear expectations prevent friction later.
Write the methods section first — it is the most objective part and forces clarity about what you actually did.
Expect revision. Reviewer comments are not rejection; they are a roadmap to a stronger paper.
