Finding a Journal to Publish Your Research

Identify a short list of quality journals from SciMago and seek the following clarifications:

• Is it peer reviewed?
• What is the journal impact?
• Does the scope of the journal align to your research?
• Can you meet the requirements listed under ‘Instructions for Authors’?

There are a range of tools available to assist in this process. Please see:

Predatory Publishing

Be cautious of unsolicited email invitations that ask you to:

• publish your thesis as an open access book
• join editorial boards
• participate in conference or special issues of journals

These may be from unethical publishers who exploit the open-access business model without providing high-quality publishing services. These publishers are referred to as Predatory Publishers.
