FAQs
Is the impact factor the main standard to be considered while choosing a target journal?
+Impact factor is only one of the measures you should take into consideration while selecting a suitable journal. Other factors like journal’s aim and scope match with your research topic, novelty of the study, frequency of publication, journal coverage (indexed in well-known databases like Scopus, SCI, SCIE, SSCI etc.) are also prominent factors while choosing a target journal.
Is the first journal recommended by the Journal Selection Service the best journal for my paper?
+The 3-5 journals we recommend are suitable for submitting your manuscript. However, we suggest you choose the first two journals under the "Most Promising" category selected by experts for higher publication chances. You can choose the journals under the "Normal" category per the degree of relevance to your manuscript by reading the expert's opinions below. Accordingly, you can select one of the five recommended journals for submission.
Do you use Artificial Intelligence to suggest suitable journals in Journal Submission Service?
+No. While AI can assist with certain tasks, it may not fully grasp the nuances of a manuscript's content or the subtle differences between journals' aims and scopes. Our Journal Submission Service relies on subject matter experts to perform this task. These experts consider various factors such as the manuscript's research question, novelty, and type of research to recommend the most appropriate journals, ensuring a better match for your research.
What’s the difference between Open-Access and Subscription-based journals?
+Open Access (OA) journals offer free access, funded by authors or institutions, increasing research impact. Subscription-based journals require paid access, limiting readership to subscribers. However, some prestigious journals, such as Nature and The New England Journal of Medicine, are subscription-based. Authors may incur publication fees (Article Processing Charges) when publishing in OA journals but not in most subscription-based ones. Do take this into consideration for journal selection.
What information do i need to provide when ordering Journal Selection Service?
+Please upload your research manuscript when you place the order. If you already have a target journal, please tell us its title and URL.
