PHS engineers have cool jobs and we do cool things, but how can we share what we do with the larger engineering community? You may recall from the Spring 2016 newsletter article"<a href="https://dcp.psc.gov/osg/engineer/newsletter.aspx"target="_blank">How to Get Your Work Published</a>" that publications raise awareness of the important work you are doing, create a record of your accomplishments, and can lead to funding resources for your work. On an individual level, publishing expands your knowledge base, improves your writing skills, and helps in career advancement by creating networking opportunities and meeting category benchmarks. For engineers who are not in a research-based job, publishing your work in a non-peer review journal is a good first step. Unlike peer reviewed articles that that have been examined by people with credentials in the article's field of study and have likely undergone several revisions and reviews before publication, nonpeer reviewed journals are not as heavily scrutinized. Examples of non-peer reviewed journals include <a href="http://www.themilitaryengineer.com/"target="_blank">The Military Engineer</a>, <a href="http://www.awwa.org/publications/opflow.aspx"target="_blank">Opflow</a>, and trade journals such as <a href="http://www.concreteopenings.com/"target="_blank">Concrete Openings</a>, Asphalt Pavement Magazine, and Stone World Magazine.
