=====SCRIPT OF VIDEO=====

Institutes encourage individuals to publish in international, high impact, and highly-cited journals to reflect the research performance of the institute. An advantage of publishing in such high-level journals during your PhD is that it will allow you to get your career started within academia with the support of your professor.

Why are international journals preferred?
They have global reach.
They cover a broader spectrum of research topics and problems.
They have higher citation rates. However, the stronger competition for acceptance in international journals also means they have higher rejection rates than local journals. Note that local journals can usually be recognized by the name of the country being included in the title.

How to select the target journal
Targeting a suitable journal for your research increases the probability that your paper is read by the right audience in your field. This helps to advance your own profile and knowledge in your field by reaching a demographic that's more likely to cite and disseminate your research. When selecting the journal, it's important to consider the journal's impact factor, its scope, and its accessibility.
Impact factor: Impact factors are publication and readership metrics that rank journals within their field of research based on how often papers from that journal are cited per year.

The accessibility of your research depends on the type of journal in which you choose to publish. Some journals require their readers to purchase a subscription, while others offer open access opportunities, which allow your research to be publicly available to a wider audience.

Should I publish in the same journal as my professor?
It provides a good starting point for your research output.
It ties your research to other relevant work.

Can I publish in the same journal twice?
There is no reason why you cannot publish multiple papers in the same journal. However, publishing in different journals diversifies your research profile, which is a good strategy for showcasing your research, increasing your employability, and highlighting the breadth of your knowledge and expertise.

Can I publish the same paper in two different journals?
Because of copyright laws, journals are highly unlikely to publish work that has been previously published in another journal or format.

Should my journal paper be an extract from my thesis?
Submitting chapters from your thesis as published papers is encouraged and is sometimes mandatory in some institutions. An advantage of doing so is that published papers have already been through the peer-review process and have been copy-edited by editors at the target journal, reducing the chance that examiners will find errors in your work when assessing your thesis. Having parts of your thesis completed will also lessen your workload when it comes to writing your thesis. The best course of action here is to check your institute's policy about whether your thesis can be published as a journal paper.
