Faculty are expected to engage in scholarly activity such as presenting at conferences, conducting research, and publishing in peer-reviewed journals to ascend in rank and achieve tenure. Thus, publishing is often discussed as an endeavor of academics. However, publishing is not relegated to the ivory tower or to those employed in higher education settings. Authoring a manuscript and publishing can be a meaningful process for counselors and supervisors as well. A few authors have provided reasons why clinicians should publish (cf., Chookrakuttil, 2018; Marusic, 2003; Schein et al., 2000). Though these manuscripts were written and published for a medical readership, I see the content as applicable to professional counselors. In this editorial, I aim to provide a brief overview of reasons to publish for a readership of professional counselors. Contributing to the knowledge base of professional counseling is one reason a counselor may pursue publication. This contribution can be a manuscript that captures practice-based evidence or a uniquely integrated therapeutic approach with a particular client population. A counselor can also author a manuscript that challenges, critiques, compares, and assimilates knowledge which can lead to improvements in clinical care (Chookrakuttil, 2018). Second, a counselor could consider publishing as a meaningful form of communication within the counseling profession. Marusic (2003) contended knowledge connects by methods of communication and the greatest part of communication takes place with journals. In this form of professional communication, it is important to consider which voices are represented and not represented. Because editors can only publish from manuscripts submitted to a journal, published manuscripts become voices represented and heard through publication. The voices of those who have not authored or submitted manuscripts are indirectly excluded and absent from this form of communication. The voices of counselors and supervisors should be a part of this form of professional communication, but this does not occur if clinicians do not submit manuscripts for publication. Third, those in clinical practice have a responsibility (Chookrakuttil, 2018) and moral obligation (Schein et al., 2000) to share their knowledge with their peers.

The majority of school counselors believed they were trained in the use of ethical decision-making models; however, a small number seemed acquainted with specific models. Implications for practice and training included practicing with models using case scenarios, expanding consultation networks, and incorporating multicultural consideration into ethical decision-making.","PeriodicalId":153964,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Professional Counseling: Practice, Theory & Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129869681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under his leadership, the Journal of Professional Counseling: Practice, Theory & Research won the Best Branch Journal Award from the American Counseling Association. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Robinson transitioned the Journal of Professional Counseling: Practice, Theory & Research from a small branch publication to a nationally recognized professional journal. The editorial board grew to 16 members with as many as 8 editors hailing from across the United States. He was especially proud to have the journal abstracted and indexed by EBSCO and assigned an ISSN number by the Library of Congress during his tenure as Executive Editor. Dr. Robinson not only launched our national journal but also created opportunities for counselor educators across Texas to publish their research and build their publication skills. Many who served under Dr. Robinson have gone on to serve as Executive Editors of several national and international counseling journals. The Journal of Professional Counseling: Practice, Theory & Research is a well-recognized resource for the latest and best interventions, practicerelated research, and theories and models that have applicability across all counseling specializations as a result of the strong foundation built by Dr. Robinson during his tenure as Executive Editor. His passion for the counseling profession and high ethical standards were evident throughout his career.
