Are academic journal publication services useful for first-time researchers?

[William D Barker]

I’ve noticed that many new researchers find the publication process confusing.

Some people recommend using academic journal publication services, while others prefer handling everything on their own to learn the process. For those who have published research before, what was the most challenging part of getting your first paper published, and what advice would you give to beginners?
