The Future of Scholarly Publishing

Finding journals to publish in

CUNY’s Office of Library Services is collaborating with CUNY’s Office of Research and the Research Foundation’s Office of Award Pre-Proposal Support to offer Faculty Funding Fridays, a new webinar series for the CUNY community. This is a recording of their first workshop:

Selecting a Venue for Journal Publication
September 25, 2020
Led by Megan Wacha (Scholarly Communications Librarian, Office of Library Services) and Tracey Revenson (Professor of Psychology at Hunter College and Editor-in-Chief of the Annals of Behavioral Medicine)

This webinar supports faculty researchers to make informed decisions when selecting a journal to publish their work, including how to find and evaluate potential journal venues (including the identification of predatory publishers), as well as understanding one’s rights as an author when negotiating contracts.

 

MORE TIPS ON FINDING A JOURNAL HOME FOR YOUR ARTICLE

 

  • Don't forget to check the journals you used in your research. Maybe one of them is the perfect place for your article.

  • Find specific journals available through the LaGuardia Library. You can search by title or browse our journals by subject category.

  • Use the Library's OneSearch to find journals across all CUNY libraries. You can get in to most CUNY libraries with your ID in order to access the electronic and print journals of those other CUNY libraries. Reference staff there should be able to help you find a computer for viewing electronic journals that doesn't require a login from that campus.

  • Use LaGuardia Library databases. Many of them offer ways to search and browse for journals. Find databases by name on our alphabetical list of subscription databases.

  • Find open access journals on your topic by doing a subject search in DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals). You can also narrow down your results by language and country of publication, journals without fees, type of open license, and more.

Search the Serials Directory database to locate information on nearly 250,000 journal titles. This database's advanced search allows you to target journals by characteristics such as frequency of publication and publisher.
