Getting Published: Expanding Your Audience

In this research challenge a UMB professor who has published articles in the Journal of Business Ethics is now looking for new journals for his current research papers. The professor specializes (among other areas) in scholarship focused at the intersection of Chinese and Western business ethics. At this time he is looking for new venues to reach different and wider audiences with his scholarship. He asked for library suggestions for ways to identify journals that might be interested in articles covering Confucianism and business ethics.

A first step is to move to interdisciplinary indexes and databases to identify new venues for this work. It's remarkable how many journals appear, and the range of audiences one might target.
