Narrative:

After a re-fueling stop in publication; ground control cleared us to taxi to runway 8L. During taxi out; I crossed from the ramp area onto runway 8R by accident for about 15 to 20 seconds before turing back onto the ramp area. This was my first visit to publication. I was the pilot taxiing and the captain was head down in the cockpit when I made the incursion. The ramp area and runway 8R are all one big paved area with no grass between them and the pavement markings are somewhat weathered. All these factors led to my mistake. We were the only aircraft moving on the ground at the time and there were no aircraft in the pattern. I'm not sure if the controller noticed my mistake since nothing was mentioned to us over the radio. I will definitely be more careful the next time I visit publication!
