'Publikation' (publication) belongs to the word family of 'publizieren' (to publish) and 'Publikum' (the public/audience). A publication is therefore something that is made accessible to the public.
Der Autor möchte sein Buch im nächsten Jahr publizieren.
The author wants to publish his book next year.
You can recognize the meaning from the way it is used: If 'Publikation' (publication) is countable, e.g. with 'eine' (one/a) or 'viele' (many), it refers to the work itself. If it is uncountable and describes a process, it refers to the act of publishing.
Er hat schon drei Publikationen zu diesem Thema verfasst.

The word 'Publikation' (publication) is mainly used in formal, academic, or professional contexts, for example for books, specialist articles, or official reports.

For her application, she had to submit a list of all her academic publications.
When the process of publishing is meant, 'Publikation' (publication) often appears in phrases such as 'vor der Publikation stehen' (to be about to be published), 'die Publikation vorbereiten' (to prepare the publication), or in connection with a date.
Das Manuskript wird vor der Publikation noch einmal geprüft.
