Publishing in leading internationally renowned careers and psychology journals is a primary means by which our research work in the field of careers is disseminated as new knowledge to scholarly ‘conversations’. Publishing in these leading internationally renowned journals is also critically important to career success in academia. Yet careers scholars may still find it challenging to decide whether to target a classic ‘careers’ journal such as for example the Journal of Vocational Behavior or to target psychology journals such as for example the Journal of Applied Psychology to best place their career-focused papers. Awareness of how these journals vary in their positioning, review processes and appetite for careers research are important subjects for careers scholars making tough choices about where to submit their work. The goal of this PDW is therefore (a) for the panellists to share information regarding the publishing of careers research in leading internationally renowned journals from the careers and psychology field (here, Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Vocational Behavior, European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, Applied Psychology: An International Review, Career Development International); and (b) for participants to have their burning questions answered. The panel will consist of two editors-in-chief, and three associate editors. Each editor will provide a short overview of their journal (e.g., vision, scope, characteristics of an ‘ideal’ paper, review process), followed by Q&A to engage the audience. This format will allow participants to ask the editors more targeted questions, while in a comfortable and psychological safe environment.
