Journal selection for manuscript
I have a paper that is ready to be published.Can you provide guidance and help me find a journal to publish in?
Answer
For the journal selection, are you looking for any of the following characteristics? If you can share the title and abstracts and list of references, that will help narrow the search.
• Reputation/impact factor, such mid-range (2.5-5) or higher(5.5-6.5) or H-Index (1-20, 20-50, 50-80+)
• Acceptance rates (such as 15% and under, 20%, 30%, 35%, 45+%)
• Time until first decision (such as 14 days, 21 days, 30 days, 60 days, 70+days)
• time until it’s publication (such as ~2 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, 7 months)
• Indexing (would you like it to appear in PubMed/Medline or in another specific database like Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, etc.?)
• Target audience
• Open Access/Retain Copyright to reproduce and disseminate your work
