Adam Smith - Find the right journal for your research & avoid predators

Adam Smith narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

If you're new to research, at some point you will need to publish your work. In this blog Adam Smith talks about how to avoid predatory publishers and provides tips on how to choose the right journal to publish in.

Not sure what predatory publishing is? Well Predatory or deceptive publishing are terms describing publishers or entities that exploit authors by charging publication fees (commonly known as article processing charges) yet don't deliver on their promise of the editorial and publishing services (such as peer review) that are associated with legitimate publishers... but don't just read this, have a listen.

Adam Smith was born in the north, a long time ago. He wanted to write books, but ended up working in the NHS, and at the Department of Health. He is now Programme Director in the Office of the NIHR National Director for Dementia Research (which probably sounds more important than it is) at University College London. He has led a number of initiatives to improve dementia research (including this website, Join Dementia Research & ENRICH), as well as pursuing his own research interests. In his spare time, he grows vegetables, builds Lego & spends most of his time drinking too much coffee and squeezing technology into his house.
