With nearly 30,000 scholarly reviewed journals out there, it\u2019s no surprise that finding the right match for your research paper can be quite difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don\u2019t despair! You can actually take control of your manuscript publishing situation and improve the chances of having your paper accepted if you understand how journals operate and you come to understand their readership. To do this, you have to be smart about how you play the publications game and follow a few simple rules. Let\u2019s find out how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Get a Paper Published in a Journal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorry to disappoint, but unfortunately there is no single silver bullet to getting published. However, there are&nbsp;many tools you can use to find the most suitable journal for your paper\u2014which is the most tried and tested way to get your paper published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When using these tools, authors must understand one important truth: JOURNALS ARE BUSINESSES.<br>While journals certainly exist to benefit the research community by facilitating an exchange of ideas and making peer review possible, they must make sound business&nbsp;decisions about what they include in each issue of their journal. Because of the competitive nature of the journal publishing industry and pressure to outperform the competition, journals must always consider which material readers will find most useful and engaging\u2014in other words, only content that will keep readers coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that your paper is being evaluated not only on its objective scientific merits, but also on whether it meets these business demands. Thus, if you want to save time, effort, and heartache, you should think carefully about how your work would benefit a journal and its readers. To help you do that, here are&nbsp;eight simple tips to help you find the right journal for YOUR article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Researching Your Target Journal\u2019s Goals and Scope<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Read the journal\u2019s \u201cAbout Us\u201d and \u201cGuide for Authors\u201d sections<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading the explicit goals and scope of the journal will tell you almost all of what you need to know about what that journal aims to achieve and what kind of articles it uses to achieve them. Journals almost always outline their goals and scope in two places: on their website (usually in the \u201cAbout Us\u201d\/&#8221;Author Guidelines&#8221; section) and in their submissions criteria, or \u201cGuide for Authors\u201d section, in the published journal. These sections include the specific parameters of what types of articles editors will and will not accept. They will also often specifically state what types of research the journal prefers. Read these sections first before seeking any further information about the journal. Here is an&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seer.ufu.br\/index.php\/biosciencejournal\/about\/submissions#onlineSubmissions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">example of the &#8220;Author Guidelines&#8221; section from&nbsp;<em>Bioscience Journal.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Read many articles published in your target journals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you are conducting your research\u2014and even before you start drafting your manuscript\u2014read as many published articles in your area of study in journals as possible. Even if you know a journal\u2019s specific requirements, reading its papers extensively will help you better understand the types of research and articles its editors prefer. By surveying papers from the past few years, you can see how its editors define criteria terms such as \u201cnovel,\u201d \u201cinteresting\u201d and \u201csufficient conceptual advancement,&#8221; as well as gain an overall understanding of the writing style&nbsp;of articles in the journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Collect a list of journals publishing research similar to yours<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to reading information about the journals you are already looking at, broaden your search to include journals publishing research similar to yours. If your investigation belongs to a particular niche, then selecting a specialized publication would increase your odds of being accepted and maximize your target audience reach. If your article is published in the right specialist journal, a higher percentage of subscribers would likely read your paper or find it relevant to their own studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Check the Impact Factor of the journal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you probably want to submit to journals that are respected and contain articles referenced by other researchers, you should take the time to research your target journal\u2019s Impact Factor (IF). This metric is based on how often articles published in that journal during the previous two years (e.g. 2016-2017) were cited by articles published in a particular year (e.g. 2018). The higher a journal&#8217;s impact factor, the more frequently articles in that journal were cited by other authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This&nbsp;number gives an approximation of how prestigious a journal is in its field. Although there are strong arguments regarding this method of determining quality, the Impact Factor is still the preferred method of gauging a journal\u2019s prestige. Keep in mind that, the higher the journal\u2019s prestige, the more competitive its submissions field. You should consider the time and effort it will take to submit to a high-ranking journal and decide whether it is worth it for your specific situation.&nbsp;It is a good idea to base this decision on factors such as your publication experience, the scientific value of your research, and the quality of your submitted manuscript. Although most researchers would be thrilled to be published in a high-profile journal like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/nature\/?Wz1=0R43c9g5V3Dr259n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Nature<\/em><\/a>, if you have very little to no publication experience, it is almost always a good idea to manage your expectations and submit to slightly less prestigious journals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"715\" height=\"842\" src=\"https:\/\/ee-blog-cdn.wordvice.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11044109\/Impact-Factor-Graphic.png\" alt=\"How to Find a Good Journal to Publish in' journal impact factor list\" class=\"wp-image-966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ee-blog-cdn.wordvice.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11044109\/Impact-Factor-Graphic.png 715w, https:\/\/ee-blog-cdn.wordvice.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/11044109\/Impact-Factor-Graphic-255x300.png 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 715px) 100vw, 715px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Researching Your Target Journal\u2019s Methodology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Examine each journal\u2019s submission process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One factor to consider when you select a journal is&nbsp;the process by which its articles are submitted and considered. Make a checklist to determine whether you are willing (and your paper is ready) to undergo certain kinds of scrutiny and waiting periods. Here are some questions you should find answers to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 What is the journal\u2019s peer-review process? Is it a closed or open process?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 How are the different publication criteria weighted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Do reviewers separate technical reviews from broader questions about research significance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 How long is the submission process? For some journals, the review process takes weeks; while others could take months. Will the journal\u2019s average review time be sufficient for the nature of your work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering the details of each journal\u2019s submission process and weighing them against those of other journals will help you decide which journal best suits your publication goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Examine each journal\u2019s publication method<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The journal\u2019s publication method will determine how available your published work will be\u2014to researchers and to the public. If the journal is open access, it will be freely available to anyone searching your work on databases. If it is closed access, it may only be available only through traditional subscription services. Read about some of the pros and cons&nbsp;about publishing in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publisso.de\/en\/advice\/publishing-advice-faqs\/open-access-vs-closed-access\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">open journal versus a closed journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Use journal search tools to locate target journals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If simple online search tools are not quite leading you to your target journal, make full use of the various free online journal finder tools to narrow your choices. Tools like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/journalfinder.elsevier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Elsevier Journal Finder<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/jane.biosemantics.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Journal\/Author Name Estimator (JANE)<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/journalsuggester.springer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Springer Journal Suggester<\/a>&nbsp;allow you to search databases using keywords, your manuscript title, and your abstract to find suitable journal matches for your research. If there are reasons&nbsp;why you must publish open access,&nbsp;note that most journals on these databases have open access options explained on the journal homepage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Draft your manuscript to suit your target journal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&nbsp;find that there are aspects of your research that just do not fit the scope of almost any journal out there, why not take a different approach and try to tailor your paper to the objectives of the journal that most closely suits your research?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine if this is possible, ask yourself a crucial question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 \u201cCan I use the research in this paper to support a topic that would further the journal\u2019s objectives?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is possible, ask yourself how it can be accomplished:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 \u201cHow can I present my research in a way that would both further the journal\u2019s objectives and be interesting and useful for its readers?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Structure your research paper to answer questions that would genuinely interest the journal\u2019s audience. For instance, if the results of your study pertain specifically to some esoteric method of cancer treatment not yet being widely considered in scientific communities (or even being generally dismissed), perhaps reframe the lens of your Discussion section to focus on implications for wider cancer research; or perhaps consider a journal publishes more experimental research and accentuate the novel and &#8220;cutting-edge&#8221; qualities of your study within the manuscript. When it comes to publications, how your manuscript is framed, especially in terms of purpose and implications, can be almost as important as the empirical data and results derived from the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Consider the&nbsp;Target Readership of the Journal<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you should be well aware by now, journals care greatly about their readers\u2019 reactions to published content. Therefore, you need to ask yourself some basic reader-centric questions before you submit to a given journal: Will their readers find your work engaging? Will they learn something new that can help them with their own work?&nbsp;Will the strength and importance of your article bring&nbsp;the readers back to that journal for more? Although your research might seem very specific, always think of the bigger picture and use your manuscript to show others why the work on which you have toiled for hundreds of hours is actually WORTH the paper (or pixels) it is printed on. We know there is a journal out there for you.
