Choosing where to publish

Match the journal’s scope and audience to your work. Read recent issues, the author guidelines and the peer-review policy.

Warning signs of predatory journals: guaranteed fast acceptance, vague peer review, fees not disclosed upfront, and aggressive email invitations.

Example

Check whether the journal is indexed where it claims, and whether colleagues in your field publish there.

Exercise

List three candidate journals for your work in your project notes.
