The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL)'s produced their How to Assess a Journal guide which highlights "key things to consider when assessing a journal" (CARL, n.d. para. 1). Like THINK. CHECK. SUBMIT. this tool presents criteria that guides researchers through the process of evaluating a journal which they are considering for publication. CARL's guide in conjunction with THINK. CHECK. SUBMIT. can help researchers avoid submitting to an "undesirable journal" (CARL, n.d. para, 2).
