Q: To which journal should I submit my first protocol paper?

Detailed Question -

I am writing a protocol paper for an ongoing clinical research. It is my first time, and I’m not sure to which journal I should submit the manuscript. So, I want some advice. The research is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for 60 patients and is performed as a specific clinical research.
