Submitting a manuscript to a journal and having that manuscript published is a crucial step in sustaining or furthering an academic career. In addition, scholar‐practitioners and others interested in furthering their discipline's knowledge base find publishing in scholarly journals a critical activity. Success in publishing research in peer‐reviewed journals can determine whether professionals obtain or retain tenure‐track positions, as well as add to the base of knowledge that may be disseminated in the literature (Thompson, 1995). This Forum offers advice on preparing manuscripts for publication, describes the peer review process, and explains the most common reasons that manuscripts are not accepted.
