How does one get a research study published?

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>not sure if they’ll accept any ideas from team rocket grunts though</p>

<p>Did you already write a research paper for your project? (Or even do the project yet?)</p>

<p>It’s VERY difficult to get a report published as a high school or college student, though definitely not impossible. If you’re working with people at a research lab or university, that’d make things a bit easier because they probably have experience trying to get things published.</p>

<p>Anyway, here are a few tips that hopefully you’ll find helpful:

  1. Start by researching the types of journals that would publish articles on the type of research you’re doing
  2. Journals have very specific guidelines about the format & content of the articles that they will publish, so you need to go to the websites for the journals and find out the submission guidelines/rules (ex. required sections - abstract, methods, etc.; how to do text/image/graph/chart formatting; citation style). Also, some journals only accept articles from people with certain affiliations or positions, so make sure about those requirements too.
  3. If you haven’t been deterred by all of the rules and guidelines, then good for you! Modify your article to fit the requirements of whatever journal you’re submitting to.
  4. Hopefully, the editors think your study is worth publishing. Definitely review and edit and spell-check the heck out of that paper. But if you never get published, don’t get discouraged! Cause it’s hecka difficult.</p>
