It could be effectively used as a lead in to a practical exercise, with the worksheet included, in a writing-for-publication workshop in which students could browse the Internet and create their own shortlist.

Questions for users:

• For supervisors/PG support staff: how do you find journals for the papers you write? What are your top tips for getting published? Share these with your students, and encourage them to watch this video.
• For students: Why do you want to publish your work? Think beyond doing it just because you have to: think about how you can build or add to knowledge and practice in your field. What can your voice (your research) add to the ‘conversation’? Start here, and create a plan for publishing that starts with your thesis, but looks forward to postdoctoral and future research. The blogs and other posts listed here may help with this. The worksheet can also be downloaded and used as a guide for creating your own journal shortlist.
