Hitting your preferred target: Positioning papers for different types of journals

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Our role as academic scholars is to generate (and disseminate) new knowledge. Academic knowledge is considered new if it is published in an academic outlet. As a rule of thumb, the more prestigious the outlet, the more acclaimed the scholar and contribution. Publish or perish is thus a cliché based on the true nature of academic work and careers, and scholars aim to publish their work in the best possible outlet. When scholars write papers, they need to decide on their target journal. Two questions then arise: which journal to target, and how to maximize the prospects of publications in the chosen journal.
