Create a matrix (like the one to<br />

the right).<br />

List names of journals you<br />

selected across top.<br />

List possible criteria down the<br />

side.<br />

Read the journals with the<br />

criteria you’ve identified in mind<br />

<strong>and</strong> record the information on<br />

the matrix.<br />

Once you have identified one or<br />

two journals as viable<br />

possibilities, repeat the exercise<br />

using several of the most recent<br />

issues of the same journal.<br />

When you have finished, you<br />

should have a good idea of a<br />

journal for either a completed<br />

manuscript or journals to which<br />

you will submit future work.<br />
