2. WHAT ARE THE JOURNALS?
A journal has several related meanings: a daily record of events or business; a
private journal is usually referred to as a diary a newspaper or other
periodical, in the literal sense of one published each day many publications
issued at stated intervals, such as academic journals, or the record of the
transactions of a society, are often called journals. In academic use, a journal
refers to a serious, scholarly publication that is peer-reviewed. A non-scholarly
magazine written for an educated audience about an industry or an area of
professional activity is usually called a trade magazine. The word "journalist",
for one whose business is writing for the public press and nowadays also other
media, has been in use since the end of the 17th century.

3. JOURNAL SUGGESTION TOOLS
Journal Finder helps you find journals that could be best suited for publishing
your scientific article. The Journal Finder uses smart search technology and field-
of-research specific vocabularies to match your article to journals.
Conversely, the online Journal Suggester automatically considers the same key
points, during the process of personalized recommendations
1.Choosing the theme: Focus on the research discipline best suited for the
unpublished manuscript. Consider the best fit of the study within research models
of—applied science, clinical research, basic research, or translational research.
Browse a list of journals by subject area.

4. 2 Choosing the audience: Consider the target audience. Choose a
specialized journal or a broader publication covering a range of
topics for accessibility of the study outlined.
3 Type of article: Ensure the possibility of publishing the article in
your journal of choice. Depending on the study and journal
publication guidelines, submit the manuscript as an original
research article, a review, or a case study.

5. 4 Impact Factor: This is not a key requisite for publication. However,
enquire about the metrics as a measure of the journal’s reputation, in
alignment with the quality of your impending publication.
5 Publication timeline: Estimate the timeline for peer review and the
turnaround time for publication in the journal of interest. To reach a
broader audience, consider options from open access journals.

6. How to use a journal finding tool to identify the merits of journals?
Enter the research paper’s keywords, title, and abstract in the search engine
of the journal finding tool. Based on the manuscript, it will suggest three
curated journals appropriate to it.
Before submitting the research paper to one of the suggestions of
the journal finder, it is pertinent to check
•Review the Overview and Aims & Scope of the journal to check its match
with the research papers
•Read the ”Instructions to authors’ to recheck whether the research paper is
written as per the instructions to avoid rejection
•Read articles in the journal to find out whether it matches the scope of the
research paper and also for the editors’ preferences
•Check the ”Author Compliance Tool’ of the journal finder to meet
institution or funder requirements

the journal impact factor and also related articles.
4 IEEE Publication Recommender:
It searches 170 + periodicals and 1500 + conferences to compare critical points such
