Choosing a journal
In this blog post, I provide a decision tree with that might help you choose the most suitable journal for publishing your research.
I’ll also share tips and links to get you started, focusing on journal scope, open access fees, impact factor, DOI, peer review process, and publication timelines.
I briefly share my own experiences. In addition, I offer a brief list of journals that publish ornithological research, complete with a map to guide your selection.
The goal is to be a guide for those looking to submit papers into an ornithological journals.
