Selecting the right journal is important to ensure that your paper gets published. Often, papers are rejected because the research topic is outside the scope of the journal, or is aimed at a different target audience. With our specialised Journal Selection service, our experts individually go through your manuscript and recommend the top most suitable journals for you.

What are two important considerations when selecting a journal for publication?
While several factors need to be considered when selecting a journal for submission, the two essential things to remember are
• The scope of the publication - Journals are usually very specific about their subject area and a manuscript that does not match their area of interest is usually rejected. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the topic being addressed in the manuscript lies within the scope of the publication. • Readership and circulation - Reaching the right target audience is important for your work to get the recognition it deserves. Assessing if a journal has healthy readership and circulation is an important factor to consider when choosing a journal for publication.
