The number of research papers published each year continues to grow, and the number of journals grows along with it. Selecting a publication venue for your work is worth considering from the very start of your project, and especially when you first start to write your manuscript, because it will influence the narrative you craft and the conventions you use. This session offers researchers of all levels a practical set of strategies for discovering and evaluating academic journals to ensure the right fit for your research and to maximise your impact. We'll consider which factors determine the quality of a journal and what sets them apart from each other. We'll also cover related topics like how to spot predatory journals, the importance of metrics, and how to check if a journal is covered by an open access agreement for your institution.
