Frequently Asked Questions
Is Impact Factor the Most Important Criteria When Choosing a Target Journal?
+Impact factor is just one of the factors to consider when selecting the right journal. Other important aspects include how well the journal’s scope aligns with your research topic, the novelty of your study, the publication frequency, and whether the journal is indexed in reputable databases like Scopus, SCI, SCIE, or SSCI.
Is the First Journal Suggested by the Journal Selection Service the Best Option for My Paper?
+The 3-5 journals recommended are all suitable for your manuscript. However, we advise selecting one of the first two journals from the "Most Promising" category, as recommended by experts, to increase your chances of acceptance. You can also choose from the "Normal" category based on the relevance to your manuscript, as explained by the expert opinions provided.
Do You Use AI to Suggest Journals in the Journal Submission Service?
+No, although AI can assist with some tasks, it may not fully understand the nuances of your manuscript's content or the subtle differences between journal scopes. Our Journal Submission Service relies on experts who assess various factors like your manuscript’s research question, its novelty, and type of research to recommend the most suitable journals, ensuring a good fit for your work.
What’s the Difference Between Open-Access and Subscription-Based Journals?
+Open Access (OA) journals are free to access, funded by authors or institutions, helping to increase the reach and impact of research. In contrast, subscription-based journals require payment for access, limiting readership to subscribers. Some prestigious journals, like Nature and The New England Journal of Medicine, are subscription-based. OA journals may charge authors publication fees (Article Processing Charges), whereas most subscription-based journals do not. This should be considered when selecting a journal.
What Information Do I Need to Provide When Ordering the Journal Selection Service?
+When placing an order, please upload your research manuscript. If you already have a target journal in mind, kindly provide its title and URL.
What If I Need Comprehensive Support for the Entire Publication Process?
+The Advanced Editing Full Support Pack is designed to assist with every aspect of the publication process. It includes comprehensive services such as Journal Selection, where we recommend 3-5 suitable journals to maximize publication chances, a thorough Plagiarism Check, and a Rapid Technical Review by Ph.D. experts to ensure your manuscript meets peer reviewer standards. Additionally, the package offers expert Manuscript Editing, formatting of figures and tables according to journal guidelines, and preparation of required documents like cover letters and copyright transfer forms. Complete Journal Submission services are also included, ensuring a smooth and successful publication journey.
