Do you need to find an academic journal or conference ideally suited to your research – one that also meets the requirements of your PhD, tenure, or promotion? This webinar will give you advanced tips on how to search for suitable journals and conferences in your field, how to evaluate them using various criteria, including citation metrics, and how to avoid predators.

Who should participate?

The webinar is designed primarily for PhDs and early-career researchers ready to publicize their research results. But anyone with an interest in scholarly publication is welcome to attend.

What topics will be covered? 

We will show you how to use key databases (Web of Science, Scopus) and other resources to search for and evaluate journals and conferences with the aim of successfully sharing the results of your research. We will address topics such as:

• Why not limit yourself to the Web of Science and Scopus
