The best journal for an article is one that reaches the intended audience and, in terms of both content and quality, contributes to the goals of the researcher and the university. Researchers who choose the right journal from the outset publish their work faster and protect themselves from rejection and revision processes that can take months.

The Library supports members of Kadir Has University who have work ready for publication in selecting the most suitable journal for their studies. We work together with researchers so they can make data-driven decisions about which journal to choose, and we provide guidance in identifying and selecting potential journals.
