The path to finding the “best” journal –changes every time because factors like professor’s topic and publication goals dictate the tools needed and change the publication options; similarly, tracking citations requires looking in a lot of places.

This guide provides definitions, tips, and tools for answering the following questions and more:

• Is this a legitimate journal?

• What’s the impact factor of this journal?

• What is ORCID & do I need one?

• Who’s citing my work, or how many times has my work been cited?

• What are all these metrics measuring? Altmetrics, h-index, …

• How can I best promote my work?

• How can I use RefWorks to manage my citations?
