Deciding where to publish your research: webinar recording and slides
Shared with the University by
There are qualitative and quantitative factors to consider when choosing a journal in which to publish your latest research. This webinar will unpick some of the quantitative factors in your decision-making process by exploring a range of journal indicators and how journal impact can be measured beyond citations.
This webinar recording covered:
- Journal-level indicators such as the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) and Source Normalised Impact per Paper (SNIP), and their strengths and limitations
- Identifying top-tier journals in a subject area and comparing journals on a range of indicators
- How journals fare on rejection rates, the percent of non-cited material in a journal and the percentage of review articles
- Comparing journals on citations in patents and policy documents

Where to publish? Navigating the publishing landscape
Shared with the University by
“Publish or perish” is an adage that many of us working in academia will sadly be all too familiar with. However, working out how best to begin working toward publication is not a straightforward task. Amongst a complex and changing landscape of journal publishing, where trusted journal and so-called 'predatory journals' are competing for our attention, working out where to publish, and how to plan your publication strategy with your own career goals in mind can be daunting. Focusing on journal articles as a research output, this informative session led by Dr Paul Cannon (MVLS College Librarian) will discuss some of the factors that may influence a publication strategy and illustrate research impact. The session will demonstrate a range of tools that researchers can use to identify suitable outlets for their research, from journal matching services, to utilising bibliometric and altmetric data to assess research outlets and demonstrate research impact.
