We recommend making an initial list of authors and their order when planning a research endeavor. The projected contribution of each member to the project should be made apparent in such a list of authors, which should be based on recognized criteria. We suggest that each research group establishes and communicates the criteria for authorship on publications resulting from the work to be done to its members. The group may choose to apply existing standards in this regard; see our post on "Components of a Research Article."
A list of authors will guarantee that everyone participating in the project knows if they can expect to be an author and, if so, what their contribution will be from the start.

It should be regarded as a working list, with the final version reflecting real contributions to the project. (Also, there may be more than one list because it is possible that a given project will result in more than one article.)
Before the experiments are finished, start writing. Start writing while you're still conducting your tests. Writing frequently sparks new ideas: you could realize that you need to perform more tests or add more controls after all. You won't be able to test these ideas if you wait until you've finished in the lab, disassembled the equipment, and maybe moved on to another position.

Decide when it's time to go public. When your findings form a full tale (or at least a complete chapter) that will make a substantial contribution to the scientific literature, it's time to publish. Collecting a certain amount of data isn't enough.
Make a title and an abstract. Drafting a working title and abstract aids in defining the topics of the article, as well as determining which experiments will be published in this paper and which research will be saved for a future publication.

Examine the list of writers once more.

You must now choose the authors and the order in which they will appear once you have chosen which experiments will be included in this article. If you've followed our instructions up to this point, you've already compiled one. Reevaluate it in light of the contributions made to those experiments as well as the new contributions that will be made throughout the paper preparation. If you already have a list, make changes to verify that it follows your criteria. Any modifications should, of course, be made with prudence and tact.
When selecting a journal, there are numerous aspects to consider. It's doubtful that one journal will contain all of the features you want, so you'll have to make some compromises. However, there is one need that must be met if papers are to be deemed research articles: they must be peer evaluated before publication.

The journal's focus:

What kind of research does it publish? Is it a wide or a limited focus? Which academic fields are represented? What is the journal's focus, for example, clinical or basic research, theoretical or practical research?

Is the journal indexed in major online databases like Medline, Biological Abstracts, Chemical Abstracts, or Current Contents?
Do you appreciate the format, typeface, and style utilized in referencing references in published articles?
Is the journal publishing brief and/or fast messages, if this is relevant?
