There are thousands of academic journal titles to choose from. Some will be suitable for your paper and others will not, some will be predatory in nature and these are to be avoided at all costs! Legitimate publications each have a carefully considered audience and are looking for a well-researched, well-written article that meets their individual editorial guidelines. To give your research the best possible chance of achieving high impact it is important to get published in the right journal.
What is the "right journal"?
The right journal is subjective and will be different for every author and every paper. It will depend on many factors; such as how well established the journal is, who your target audience is and where your co-authors (if any) want to publish.
It may be worth taking a few moments to pause before writing your paper, and consider how to find the right journal to suit your research. You may want to think about why you want to / should publish the research, who you want to read the research and where your target readers are located.
