Publish Papers: Steps for US-Based Grad School Candidates

In summary, to get your papers and ideas published, you should consult your professors who can offer guidance and share their own experiences. The process may take some time, but you have a couple of years before you graduate with your bachelor's degree. Your location in the United States may also be a factor to consider.

What are the steps I need to take to get my papers and ideas out there for others to read? I don't expect anything to happen with my papers, but I want to try to get something out there so I look more appealing to Grad schools. It doesn't matter to me how long the process takes. I got a couple of years before I get my bachelors so I'm not in a hurry. Oh, and I live in the United States in case that matters.
