FAST journal selection

General rules

In general FAST supports journals that provide:

  • Open access publication - ideally platinum OA (free to write and read)
  • Are the closest to our particular study (e.g. we cite a lot in it)
  • Journals that foster rapid review
  • Publishing in higher impact factor journals for students pursuing academia
  • For a list of platinum OA journals see appendix here
