Yesterday I finished writing a research paper that I've been working on (as time permitted) for about the last 9 months or so.

The only thing left to do is find a journal or conference to send it to.

Is it better to submit it to a journal, or should I wait until next year for a conference? There's follow-up work that I plan to do, but the paper is already pretty condensed, so I'm not sure if expanding it before submitting somewhere makes sense.

Any advice?

@patrizia @academicchatter It depends 😉 From your bio, I'm assuming this is a CS-related paper? What would be an example conference or journal you have been considering, for context?

@floe @academicchatter Yeah, it's CS - geometry specifically. I should probably have included that... :)

I just missed the deadline for the CGVC conference (https://cgvc.org.uk), and was considering IEEE Access as the journal. If the dates worked for me then I'd look at GRAPP (https://grapp.scitevents.org/).

Unfortunately I've not published many papers, so I don't have a good feel for selecting the right "level" of conference/journal.

@patrizia @academicchatter Ah, memories, GRAPP was my very first conference 😁 Fun to see it's still around, that was ~ 15 years ago 👴

In any case, journals usually have higher expectations than conferences, so a conference might generally be a better place to get started.

To get a feeling for how "high-level"/competitive a specific conference is, have a look at https://portal.core.edu.au/conf-ranks/ and https://scholar.google.de/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=eng (pick a suitable subcategory near the top).
