Choosing a journal with Bill Stoops

In this episode, Dr Casy Calver talks to Professor Bill Stoops about how to choose a journal.

Bill discusses his experiences as an author and a journal editor. He gives advice on how to approach journals to check whether an article is likely to be a good fit and therefore a good home for your research paper. He also suggests some red flags for identifying ‘predatory’ journals.

Professor Bill Stoops is Editor for the journal Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology.

"One thing I really do think about... is where it's indexed. So, is it going to get caught in a broad search? Is it going to get caught in PubMed, is it going to get caught in PsychInfo?"
