Answer:

 

It is difficult for someone else to recommend a journal in a specific field; you would be the best person to understand which journal would be a good match in terms of the topic and target audience of your study. However, here are some tips that will help you select a suitable journal:

  • You can run a search by subject category on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) to find relevant journals in your field.
  • Another good place to look for journals is the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), an online directory that lists down and provides access to high quality open access, peer-reviewed journals. Conducting an advanced search here will give you a list of good journals in your field.
  • Once you have made a list of relevant journals, go to each journal’s website and check if they have a rapid publication option. If you wish to publish fast, you can consider submitting your paper to a rapid publication journal.
  • You can also use popular journal selection tools that are available online to seek journals that provide decisions within shorter turnaround times.
  • To avoid falling prey to predatory journals, pay close attention to the information on the journal's website and watch out for promises that may sound too good to be true.
