Q. How do I select a journal to publish in?

Choosing where to publish your work is a big decision, and one that you will want to take your time considering the scope of your research, the audience you wish to reach and the wider impact your work can have.

You can find information about strategic publishing on the Strategic Publishing Guide. In particular, check out How to choose a journal.

There are a number of journal scoping tools that you can use to help guide your decision, including:

Journal Author Name Estimator (JANE)

Elsevier Journal Finder

Springer Journal Suggester

Endnote Manuscript Matcher

Have you considered publishing Open Access? Check out the Read and Publish Agreements that have been negotiated with publishers to increase the accessibility of your research.
