This study proposes a theoretical model of journal selection criteria by consolidating and validating the previously identified elements that influence authors' choice of publication venue. For the study, we surveyed 490 authors who published their work in library and information science journals and performed an exploratory factor analysis. The analysis identified five underlying components of journal selection criteria consisting of 15 items, which were labelled prestige, readership, peer review, infrastructure, and performance. The five components were positively related to each other, and peer review was shown as the most important component in choosing a publication venue, followed by readership, prestige, infrastructure, and performance. The results of this study will help increase the understanding of authors' publishing behaviours and will help journal publishers and editors improve their journals by developing strategies that attract better‐quality manuscripts.

图书情报学出版地点选择的影响因素

本研究通过整合和验证先前确定的影响作者选择出版地点的因素，提出了期刊选择标准的理论模型。在这项研究中，我们调查了 490 位在图书馆和信息科学期刊上发表作品的作者，并进行了探索性因素分析。该分析确定了期刊选择标准的五个基本组成部分，包括 15 个项目，分别标记为声望、读者群、同行评审、基础设施和绩效。这五个组成部分相互呈正相关，同行评议被证明是选择出版地点的最重要组成部分，其次是读者群、声望、基础设施和绩效。这项研究的结果将有助于增加作者的理解
