complexbongo Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Talk to someone in your field who has published papers in highly recognized journals (aka your advisor). There is no "guide" to publishing research.
Guest ||| Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 It isn't always just a matter of wanting to publish in a high impact journal - we all want that. First, is your research exciting, interesting or cutting edge? Or is it a replication study more or less meant to mirror already published results? Is your study actually your study? Does your supervisor believe you deserve author or co-author status? Is a high impact journal a realistic first endeavor for publication? Might it be more reasonable to first go elsewhere and build a reputation? All things to consider
igfy Posted August 29, 2013 Posted August 29, 2013 NicolasCage in right. Journal with high impact factors get many submissions a year and only choose the ones they see most fit for publishing. If your research is cutting edge or on a popular topic, your chances are much higher. I know my research has a very small chance of being published in a high impact factor journal because I'm working on a sub-field that just isn't very popular. If I try sumitting with those journals I usually get rejected because although my article is interesting, it doens't appeal to the audience of the journal. Also you need to have some credibility when publishing in high end journals. Having other pubished and cited articles may help. Having an important co-author, such as maybe your professor, helps as well. When you're finishing a first manuscript, you could ask your professor how high you could aim. Based on the asvice of your professor, aim high, but don't be surprised when your article gets rejected. Then slowly go down until you find a journal willing to publish your article. At least, this is how my professor taught me to do it..
