WORKSHOP: Selecting a Journal for Publication

You have your research idea, have already started thinking about data collection, and now it’s time to think about where to publish your findings. Choosing the correct journal, can mean higher visibility and impact of your work but which Journal to select isn’t always an obvious choice. In this workshop we will review some of criteria to consider when selecting a Journal. We will also use tools/databases such as IncItes, Ulrich’s, and Directory of Open Access Journals to help gather information about the Journal’s main theme, frequency of publication, availability, and impact factor. Finally we will explore other factors of consideration such as the researcher’s timeframe from submission to final acceptance, format, and reputation.
