Publication Planning

I would like to present my study as a poster at a conference, prior to submitting the paper to my target journal. The thing is I would like to add two more colleagues’ names (I have already 2 co-authors) in the conference presentation. The two colleagues' names will be NOT presented in my manuscript when submitting it to the journal though. It would be great if you could give me some advice on this.

The article will be ready soon and I want to submit it in a few weeks' time. However, I will get confirmation of acceptance of my thesis only in Jan. In this situation, is it possible for me to submit the paper to a journal now? Also, please let me know what I should do to submit it to a journal.

Should we decide the target journal before we conduct research? I plan to start a new research, but I'm finding it difficult to decide a target journal now as I am not sure if the research will be good enough to publish in a high impact factor journal.

Which kind of article would be easier to publish in an SCI journal: an original research article or a review article?

Writing a grant proposal requires a lot of time and effort. But all this effort can go waste if the proposal does not conform to the requirements set by the funding agency. Non-conformance to the proposal preparation and formatting guidelines can lead to a rejection without review. This case study tracks the case of one such grant proposal which was rejected because of non-conformance to formatting requirements.
