In the last few years, I have been presenting workshops on publishing (among other topics) in many countries across 6 continents. And presenting these workshops in various countries has allowed me to learn the policies and practices of editors of journals representing numerous countries, thereby helping me to broaden the framework for writing publishable research manuscripts that I had developed to accommodate these policies and practices. My current framework for publishing contains 30 steps that are continuous, iterative, interactive, holistic, dynamic, and synergistic. It should be noted that authors can be involved in several steps simultaneously across two or more research projects. Thus, the purpose of this article, which I am dedicating to my late, best friend, Dr. Christine E. Daley, is twofold. First, I will summarize these 30 steps to publishing. Second, I will outline strategies for helping authors secure impactful publications--which are publications that help to advance the field.
