Journal Selection
Selection of an inappropriate journal is one of the most common reasons for rejection. We use our expert field and journal knowledge to recommend journals that meet your publication needs. We give you a short-list of journals with an assessment of the benefits and risks associated with each. We also give you our recommendation of the most appropriate.
Publishing is important for your career and helps you secure more funding for your research. We use our knowledge to generate a short-list of journals (three or more, depending on your choice) that we believe will be most appropriate and most likely to consider your work. We also give an assessment of the benefits and risks of submitting to each journal to enable you to make the most appropriate decision of your target journal. Edanz can recommend a journal to meet your publication needs, whether that be reaching a target audience or publishing in a high Impact Factor journal. We consider the following when identifying potential target journals:
- Recent publication history
- Scope of your study
- Type of study (e.g., clinical study, case study, laboratory study)
- Type of manuscript (e.g., short communication, full article, review article, letter to the editor)
- Do you need to publish in a journal with an Impact Factor/indexed in Medline/Embase, etc.?
