So, you are undertaking your research and you are starting to consider where you will publish.
Some points to consider, to assist with this activity are:
- Set publishing objectives. Are you wanting to build a publishing record, contribute to new knowledge, disseminate research findings or increase your research profile or impact?
- Do you need to consider access, turn around times for publication and readership including target audience?
- Speak with your colleagues / supervisors about where to publish.
- Which publication titles are coming up when undertaking a literature search.
- Who are the key researchers in your area and where are they publishing. Use some of the tools within citation databases such as Scopus to identify these.
