OTHER THINGS, related perhaps tangentially
When choosing journals, authors should consider pricing and copyright issues as well as impact factors. Where you choose to publish your work matters. The number of readers you reach, your work's resulting impact on knowledge advancement, and the evolution of effective scholarly communication processes are all affected by your publishing choices.
