I love tip 9. Writing is so much better as a social activity! A 5 minute conversation with a writing partner can save me an hour of spinning my wheels. The other tip I would add is to start writing at the beginning of the research process not the end because writing = thinking.

The Society for Freshwater Science's non-profit society journal Freshwater Science is committed to supporting first-time authors in the publication process. Check out these tips from our Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth Anderson on publishing research. What are your best publishing tips?
