Who should stand first in the list of authors, and who should come last? Why does the position of a name in a publication affect a scientist's career and the distribution of academic recognition? And how can disputes over contribution be avoided even before the manuscript reaches the journal?

Fourth-quartile journals are perceived as the most accessible path to indexing in Scopus. However, it is not always obvious in exactly which academic situations this choice is appropriate. When is publishing in Q4 a justified decision? How to distinguish a reliable publication from a questionable one? We explore under what conditions a Q4 journal – a suitable option, and what needs to be checked prior to manuscript submission.

The joint preparation of a research article is a widespread practice in international scholarly publishing. Co-authorship in Scopus-indexed journals opens up access to new resources and partnerships for researchers, yet it calls for strict adherence to ethical norms and editorial requirements. Below we set out what co-authorship entails, what advantages it brings to a researcher and which mistakes are best avoided when preparing a publication.

Most researchers target a specific journal quartile because their university, research institution, or grant provider requires it. But what should you do when no such requirement exists? Should you aim for Q1 or Q2, or are Q3 and Q4 journals a perfectly sound choice? And how does the publication process differ across quartiles? This article addresses each of these questions in turn.
