Have you ever received a request from a publisher asking you to submit to their journal? It might sound good, but it is legitimate? How do you evaluate quality when choosing a journal for your research, and how do you determine which journal is the best fit for your research?

VCU Libraries presents a workshop on navigating the intricacies of scholarly publication. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Recognize and adapt to the changing publishing landscape,

• Evaluate potential journals - including open-access journals - for publication, and

• Identify and avoid predatory publishers.
