to publish
'veröffentlichen' and 'ausschreiben' both have to do with making something public. 'veröffentlichen' is general: you make a work or a piece of information available to many people. 'ausschreiben' is used much more narrowly, when a job, contract, or competition is publicly advertised so that people can apply or submit offers. Learners may confuse the words because both happen publicly. The practical difference is: you publish information, articles, or books with 'veröffentlichen'; you advertise jobs, contracts, or competitions with 'ausschreiben'.
