| Sep 4, 2022 at 4:53 | comment | added | Aolon | @HanneA, one thing unclear to me is the reasoning you gave to your supervisor which is key. They are implicit in your question, too. I have been in this situation and open communication was what resolved the problem. You have to be very clear about what you want and why to convince someone with different views. You can also try bargaining: you select the journal for one manuscript, the supervisor for the others. For me, this worked, if your supervisor is less pliant, I would follow Allure's advice. | |

| Sep 3, 2022 at 14:02 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | @Allure yes the supervisor should probably have yielded to the student. | |
| Sep 3, 2022 at 13:51 | comment | added | Allure | @ZeroTheHero right, but in the OP, I've told X that I want it in specialized (prestigious) journals which have low IFs. X ignored my opinion. -- they've already challenged it and the supervisor still says no. | |
| Sep 3, 2022 at 13:30 | comment | added | GEdgar | I agree. Do it your advisor's way. After you graduate, you can try it your way. After a while you may find you like it, or you may find it was not so good after all. | |
| Sep 3, 2022 at 13:20 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | Interesting rule. Mine is the converse: you don’t get the degree until you can argue with your supervisor. It all depends on the topic and the tone of course, but choosing a journal is something I would want my students to challenge. | |
