A common dilemma in academic publishing relates to the balance between the quality of the research and the quality of the journal. How does one manage this under time pressure? This is especially a challenge for PhD students, Postdocs, and early career researchers.

This allows you to achieve academic promotion while preserving core values in academia and protecting your work from predatory journals.

This video describes strategies for achieving alignment between the quality of the research and the quality of the journal. If that fails, then, at least have minimum standards and be protective of your work. Shady journals will likely go down with your authentic work if you publish there.
