Faculty Research & Publishing

Some important steps to consider when choosing a journal:

1. Define your publishing goal.  

2. Decide what is important to you in the publishing process.  

3.  Make a short list of journals to compare. 

Some criteria to consider:

• Does the journal publish articles that are similar to scope and type to yours? 
• Consider the impact and reach of the journal. 
• Consider the readership and audience of the journal. 
• Make sure the journal is ethical.  Consider checking Cabell's.
