The process of concretizing an idea or a set of findings/data from a research project in a published manuscript seems very difficult. This blog provides key tips to help you publish research articles in high-impact journals of your choice, absolutely simple and easy.
Take the time to determine the correct journal
Reading a journal's clear objectives and scope will reveal almost everything you need to know about the objectives the journal aims to achieve and the types of articles it uses to achieve those objectives. Magazines almost always describe their goals and scope in two places: on their website, usually in the "About Us" or "Author's Notes" section. Many even have "Submission Guidelines" and "Authors Guidelines" sections. These sections include specific parameters for the types of articles that the publisher will and will not accept. They also often point out the types of research the journal prefers. It is helpful to read these sections before looking for other information about the journal.
Browse past magazine magazines
When you are doing research (even before you start writing a manuscript), you should read as many journal articles relevant to your field of research as possible. Even if you understand the specific requirements of international journals, reading their articles in depth will help you better understand the types of research and articles preferred by journal editors that they are interested in publishing. By examining the articles of the last few years, one can notice how their editors define standard terms, such as "innovative" and "interesting", and can also get a rough idea of the writing style of the articles that are generally published in them.
Pay attention to the impact factors
Most authors wish to submit their articles to respected journals that contain articles cited by other researchers. Therefore, they should spend time researching the Impact Factor of the journals indexed within the target range. The journal's IF index is evaluated based on the frequency of articles published in the journal in the previous two years. Journals with high impact factors contain published articles that are more frequently cited by other authors.
This number gives an approximation of the prestige of the magazine in its field. Although there are strong arguments to support this method of determining quality, impact factors remain the preferred method for evaluating journal impact. It should be noted that the greater the influence of a magazine, the fiercer the competition in its submission process.
You should consider the time and effort required to conduct a high-level review and decide if it is worth it for your specific situation. It is best to make this decision based on factors such as your previous editing experience, the scientific value of the research, and the quality of the submitted manuscript. Although most researchers want to publish in well-known journals in their field, if they have little editorial experience, it is almost always a good idea to manage their expectations and submit articles to lesser-known journals.
Take self-criticism seriously and leave no room for external criticism.
Editing an article requires a lot of work. With so much content submitted, reviewers are always looking for simple methods or criteria to reject an article, even before they start reading it. Authors should carefully follow the journal's guidelines, including citation format requirements. They must look forward to attending an International conference 2021 scopus and present their journal.
Assuming all the journal's proposed guidelines are followed and met, reviewers will look for obvious omissions in the article's arguments. For example, if authors make statements that are too forceful (such as statements that reveal their personal biases or statements that dismiss common disputes), they will make it easier for reviewers to reject their submissions. On the other hand, if you subtly express your views, it will be difficult for reviewers to find obvious gaps in your work.
