Locate great places to publish at Ulrich's Periodicals Database. You can input a subject like functional foods and find a list of authoritative, peer-reviewed journals and information about how you can get published with them.
At http://libguides.twu.edu/c.php?g=270205&p=1803134 you can find information on open access publishing, including the Repository @ TWU. You can learn more about open access at the Directory of Open Access Journals (see https://doaj.org/about) PLOS at Creative Commons (at https://creativecommons.org/about/) and at resources like SPARCalid.
A 12 minute video guiding librarians on how to partner with others in order to get published may be of help to you here.
Please be careful. It can be difficult to identify valid, peer-reviewed, authoritative journals in the mass of a business model that has publication offers popping up constantly in your email. Many appeals to the potential author appear, on the surface, to be scholarly, valid research organs of communication, but careful research reveals that the appeals are actually something else. Please ask your librarian for help or do the research yourself.
To determine if an offer to be published is the kind of high quality journal you seek, library scientists have produced some helpful resources. Take the title and any other information you have about the title and start your search. Trust, but verify.
The world's largest collection of electronic, loanable and rare library materials.
Do you need to find a test with internal validity and reliability? Use these two databases to search on your subject (like hand strength) and then see journal articles and more written about the reliability and validity of such tests, telling you what level of trained person is needed to conduct the test and also revealing the quality of the test, among other essential factors . Find the fulltext of the articles in another database like PubMed, Academic Search, or at TWU Libraries E-Journals (above, on this page), and you have all the great full text you need to succeed!
First, consult your syllabus and Canvas documents to see how your faculty define, describe and delineate what this paper needs to be.
Second, consult several reference sources to learn what the term concept analysis and your subject mean.
Third, search in the CINAHL database (seen on this page), search for the CINAHL subject heading Concept Analysis, find those articles and search for your subject term separately.
Finally, combine the two sets of articles found and refine to the last (5?) years, English language and (?) full text articles to find the articles that discuss your needs, according to your faculty's guidelines.
You are ready to write about these articles for a great concept analysis paper. Remember to use APA Publication Manual 6th edition (and its update) correctly.
