Читать книгу The Research Experience - Ann Sloan Devlin - Страница 81

As knowledge expands, new journals are introduced to provide a home for those topics, whether related to technology (e.g., Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage, begun in 2014); mental health (Spirituality in Clinical Practice, begun in 2013); or demographic groups that have been underrepresented in the literature (e.g., Asian American Journal of Psychology, begun in 2009).

When you are considering where to submit research for publication, it is important to select a journal that is a good “fit” for your research. Often you can make an informed judgment by looking at your references and assessing where most of the research you cite has been published. It makes sense to submit your manuscript to a journal you have cited! Editors will often “desk reject” a manuscript they judge to be a poor fit for their journal (e.g., as evidenced by a lack of citations to that journal). A desk reject means that the manuscript is not sent out for review.
