Sorry if this seems obvious, but have you spoken to any published former profs or colleagues? I know that's who I'd be consulting first.
Total aside, but I'm going to be trying to get published for the first time this fall - just a paper though 
Do not be oppressed by the forces of ignorance and delusion! But rise up now with resolve and courage! Entranced by ignorance, from beginningless time until now, You have had more than enough time to sleep. So do not slumber any longer, but strive after virtue with body, speech, and mind!
