Selecting a publication venue

When considering where to publish your research, think about

  3. Quality. Is the publication peer reviewed? Is it reputable?

Open Access (OA) is the free online availability of research and scholarly outputs. The Library has a guide to open access publishing. You can publish under either “gold” open access (journals that make research freely available on publication) or “green” open access (journals that allow research pre- or post-prints to be archived in an open research repository.
