How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or written contexts rather than casual speech. It carries a sense of official release or public dissemination of information. In everyday conversation, people often prefer using 出版 or 登出 instead of this word.

Do you know when they will publish that advertisement?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with the noun 刊物, which refers to the publication itself. Remember that 刊 is a verb, so it describes the action of putting something into print, not the object being printed.
