* '''Publishing in Complex Systems''': there seems to be a gulf between the high impact interdisciplinary journals like PNAS, PRX, Nature Comms, etc. and the lower impact complex systems specific journals like Complexity or Complex Systems. This gap is dominated by domain specific journals, and as a result I have found it challenging to publish good, but perhaps not profound, interdisciplinary research. (The only exceptions I know of are perhaps Nature Scientific Reports and Royal Society Interface.) Does the panel have any advice for navigating these challenges?

Panel Questions

  • Publishing in Complex Systems: there seems to be a gulf between the high impact interdisciplinary journals like PNAS, PRX, Nature Comms, etc. and the lower impact complex systems specific journals like Complexity or Complex Systems. This gap is dominated by domain specific journals, and as a result I have found it challenging to publish good, but perhaps not profound, interdisciplinary research. (The only exceptions I know of are perhaps Nature Scientific Reports and Royal Society Interface.) Does the panel have any advice for navigating these challenges?
