SOME QUALITY CRITERIA FOR CHOOSING JOURNALS

An important part of the research process is its dissemination through specialized journals; there are so many that sometimes it seems easy to make a decision about which one to send the results of a research work to. However, before making that decision, the graduate student, who generally has lack experience in what is involved in the process of choosing the best journal to publish their results, must consider some criteria before sending their work to a publishing house, with the intention of guaranteeing that their product, if published, will be housed in a quality publication that will allow it to have the expected reach.

This guide offers some criteria that can be useful to identify quality journals both in the national context (Colombia) and in the international context.
