Aspirational publications, reliable outlets, the place we first published under our advisor. For everything we seek to publish, there are dozens or even hundreds of places we could publish with, many of them great, none of them perfect. For many of us, our publication selection process has historically been based on what we know and are used to, and we already consider a wide array of possibilities, factors, and opportunities in our decision-making process.
This section of our guide is not meant to replace the tools and interpersonal support structures you already have, rather, we hope to supplement your current toolkit by providing additional resources and support in helping you navigate your publication choices to align with your work, aspirations, and values.
