Expert Answer

Most people start publishing while they're still in graduate school. The sooner you can do that, the better off you are. Getting published by a well recognized journal is no small feat, as published articles are carefully scrutinized through a peer review process. It's also important to be patient and get comfortable with rejection when first starting out.

Expert Answer

An issue is something debatable or controversial. Issues come up in conversations about your topic. An issue is where you can do more research.
