Hi, Use the right tool, for example, like, Hyperlynx; to select the right value of the resistor. Before that identify what method of termination is most suitable for your interface. If it is a simple series termination and the particular signal line is bidirectional(eg. data bus), find who is the stronger driver and place the resistor closer to the stronger driver. If it is a unidirectional like address bus keep it near the source(eg. processor). With this you can control Overshoot, Undershoot and maintain signal integrity.
