Selecting a suitable journal
Readership – academic, industry, general public
Peer-reviewed – if you wish other researchers to read and cite your research
Journal quality/prestige – impact factors (ECR aim low to build up output and esteem first)
Relevance – check journal aims and scope
Publisher policies - open access & self-archiving
Information Services
Sources of journal information
Experienced researchers
Your own bibliography - chances are if you are citing from specific journal, you will be writing something of equal interest to other readers of that journal
Ulrich’s Periodical Directory
Databases in your field – which journals come up the most often when searching
Journal impact databases (Web of Science/Scopus)
Publishing research + generating research impact secures funding for the growth of the university
