Alan J. Zillich, PharmD — William S. Bucke Professor and Head of the Department of Pharmacy Practice, Purdue University College of Pharmacy — talks with us about getting your work published; from identifying great ideas, collaborating, writing, and revising your manuscript. Key Lessons: From review articles to meta-analyses, from case reports to observational studies and controlled trials, getting your work published is immensely gratifying.  But it requires many months (and sometimes years) of effort. Working with a mentor who has experience producing scholarly work and getting published is a great first step. Good research questions arise from practice.  When there are gaps in our knowledge, that's where a scholarly project that's potentially publishable often emerges. Working with an authoring team - bringing together people with different skills - can really improve the quality and rigor of your scholarly work. Use explicit criteria to determine who qualifies as an author on a paper.  Be sure to ack
