6. Characterising researchers
In my research about how people choose where to publish, there are clear patterns for different researchers
I want one to three-word phrases to characterise the researchers similar to Katz’s terms

7. Characterising researchers
A: Follows suggestions of colleagues in deciding which conferences to send proposals to and which journals to submit to
B: Has very different strategies depending on whether the publication is at a conference or in a journal

8. Characterising researchers
C: Constantly tries to steadily increase the quality of place of publication (i.e. start with non-refereed national journal, move to refereed national journal etc.)
D: Focuses primarily on the match between the topic of the place of publication and the topic of the research without worrying much about quality

9. Characterising researchers
E: Focuses on conducting research; publishing is serendipitous with no real plans
F: Focuses on who reads journal/attends conference so that research is targetted at the audience
