Q. How can I find information about publishing in journals (acceptance rates, impact factor, submission requirements, etc.)?

There are several resources that may be able to help you research journals:

• Eigenfactor (free; rankings of scientific journals)
• Google Scholar Metrics (free; rankings of academic journals)
• Journal Citation Reports (UNL subscription; rankings and impact factors of academic journals)
• MLA Directory of Periodicals (UNL subscription; publication information for modern language and literature journals)
• Scimago (free; rankings of scientific journals)
• Ulrich's Periodicals Directory (UNL subscription; basic information on many academic and popular periodicals)

Of course, you can find some of this information on individual journals' websites as well.
