choosing a journal

Because they were submitted to the incorrect journal, the majority of publications are rejected.

The research detailed in the papers is not of low quality, nor are they poorly written, but they do not
meet the journal's goals. We must focus on the requirements of the readers and the journal policies
(Samuels S. J. 1991).

A journal's goals can be found on its website or in editorials that are published in the volume's first or
last issue. Typically, journals' websites provide the following details:

editors, database indexing, upcoming thematic issues, the journal's goals and content, the suggested
writing style, copyright concerns of the papers,

Consider whether your manuscript aligns with the goals and subject matter of the journal. You stand a
strong possibility of being published in this situation.

A journal's quality can be determined by how many scientific databases index its articles. Other signs
include a high number of other journals mentioning the papers, well-known editors and editorial board
members, a low acceptance rate, etc (Klingner, Scanlon, and Pressley 2005). Publications in prestigious
journals have more weight on your Resume, but obtaining a publication in one takes more effort and
time.

The status of scientific databases varies throughout the scholarly community.

The ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) Web of Knowledge is the most prestigious (Current Content).

the\sworld. Every field of study has its own database; examples include the Social Science Citation Index
(SSCI) for social sciences, the Educational Resource Information Center (ERIC), the International ERIC, and
the British Education Index (BEI) for education, PsycARTICLES and PsycINFO for psychology, etc. The
typical means for finding scientific papers are not the popular search engines.
