Please consider doing the preliminary literature review assignment before our next workshop on Monday. The results will not be public.
This exercise will be helpful if you are
- unfamiliar with the journals in your field
- different aspects of journal publishing including
- copyright and open access
- journal metrics
- methodologies and scope (“fit”)
- at the stage that you are exploring target journals
- concerned about accidentally publishing in a predatory journal
This exercise will teach you how to close read two journals and may help move you forward. Literature reviews can quick or in-depth and thus be helpful at different stages of your writing process. I hope you find at least one article that excites you and makes you feel good about your own scholarship.
