Identifying Quality Journals, Maximizing Impact, and Avoiding “Predatory Journals” Online
Identifying the right journal can be challenging, especially with an ever-increasing number of journals and publishing options. This workshop will present some approaches, tools, and tips to help you identify quality journal venues.

After attending this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Define the characteristics of quality journals.
- Distinguish between legitimate, reputable journals and “predatory journals.”
- Utilize various tools to identify and evaluate journals, as well as understand the limitations of such tools.
