Abstract

Strategic journal publishing is a complex activity. Identifying appropriate publication outlets is a key component of a researcher’s publishing strategy. Considerations include a journal’s Field of Research (FoR) Code, impact data and Open Access options (mandatory for publications arising from funded research). To afford researchers more writing time but still enable strategic publishing, the Western Sydney University’s Library and Digital Humanities Research Group combined their expertise in publishing support resources, data manipulation and general purpose programming to develop Journal Finder. This toolkit organises existing information relating to journals and impact in ways that are relevant to the Australian situation and easily identifiable.

Abstract

Through the analysis of the University of Western Sydney’s (UWS) federated searching tool usage statistics, the paper aims to highlight potential issues for Libraries choosing to make federated searching, the preferred method for finding scholarly resources. The paper will reflect on the UWS experience and create an awareness of potential issues for future implementations of federated search products.
