I've actually got a manuscript at a journal right now. I'm a CS guy, but I work in public health, so my paper is going to be in an epi journal. It was some work (2 years worth) on analyzing open ended text responses (you know, at the end of a survey, "is there anything not covered here that you would like to tell us?") Mostly methods / descriptive (that means not too many earth shattering conclusions), but it's a cool feeling to be a first author on a published paper.
