This is where professional journal selection services like the one offered by Editage can prove useful as they provide recommendations based on a comprehensive evaluation of your manuscript and individual preferences.
Our professional journal selection report usually comprises a comprehensive assessment of appropriate journals and provides a list of recommendations based on factors like –
• scope of the journal and the target audiences it caters to
• the publication’s readership, circulation and reach (regional or international)
• analysis of the citation index of papers published in the journal
• checking if the journal is peer-reviewed and the average time taken for the review process
• the submission process and cost involved
• submission lead time and frequency of publication (quarterly, annual)

We are committed to supporting you throughout your publication journey and will recommend other suitable target journals at no extra cost if
• You receive an ‘out-of-scope’ rejection from a journal that Editage recommends
• Any of the journals we recommend are subsequently acquired by predatory publishers
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.
No. We do not perform peer review of your paper, so we are unable to determine the likelihood of acceptance in any particular journal. We cannot critically evaluate the scientific content of your paper to determine whether it belongs in a top-tier journal. We cannot guarantee that a journal we select will review or accept your paper.
Most journals do not provide information about the speed of their review process or the typical length of time from submission to publication. We cannot provide information that is not publicly available from the publishers and editors of a given journal.
The AJE Journal Recommendation service is journal-independent. We will not communicate directly with journal editors about your manuscript. Our Journal Recommendation report will provide useful information about journals that may be a good fit for your paper based on the content of your work, but ultimately, editorial decisions are made by the journal’s editorial staff, not AJE. We are here to support you throughout the publication process but cannot guarantee journal acceptance.
