Writing and publishing a manuscript is an important component of scientific research. Successful publications can contribute more than just enrichment in the professional life of medical staff but may also link with salary and job promotion. However, novice writers are often unfamiliar with the process of publishing and perplexed as where to start. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide readers with an overall view of the publication process. Each step beginning from journal selection, manuscript formatting, draft writing to manuscript submission is described. Additional reference materials are provided for readers who want to further explore particular areas of interest in greater depth. It is hoped that this paper can help medical staff in successfully publishing their research findings and thereby increase research competitiveness both personally and in the region.
