Deciding where to publish your research can seem like a daunting task. The Ebling Library has put together this guide to help you to navigate the process of choosing a journal in which to publish.

The steps involved in selecting a journal for your manuscript generally fall under 4 categories:

1. Identify: Find candidate journals
2. Fit: Determine if your manuscript fits the journal's content
3. Evaluate: Assess the quality of the journals
4. Access: Consider access options for your work

Attend the Publish or Perish workshop on 3/13 or 4/7

This workshop will help you understand your Open Access options, navigate author agreements and copyright, and choose the right journal for your article. It will also give you the opportunity to ask librarians questions relating to publishing your research. The workshop is part of the Libraries’ Graduate Support Series and is open to all.

The workshop will be held twice:

• March 13, 2025 from 4pm to 5pm on Zoom
• April 7, 2025 from 12pm to 1pm on Zoom

Registration is required. Register for either session at go.wisc.edu/14899d
