Publishing rigorous research is a critical task for advancing the field of counseling, ensuring effective client services, and can serve as a means of advocacy. Writing publishable manuscripts is a skill that develops over time. The purpose of this article is to provide guidance for writing rigorous research papers for publication in counseling journals. We describe considerations for each section of the manuscript as well as pitfalls for authors to avoid. We conclude by describing the importance of disseminating one's work to the intended audience.
