POINT 1: EVALUATION OF THE JOURNAL QUALITY
- Journal Citation Reports (JCR), DOAJ, MyCIte: These platforms will help you to evaluate the quality of the journals from different perspectives such as Total Cites, Impact Factor, Quartile, Immediacy Impact, Eigen factor Score etc. From the data provided, then you may decide which journal is relevant to your needs. For instance, you may refer to the journal with high Immediacy Index (indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited in the year of publication), in order to get an early citation.

POINT 2: SELECTING THE RELEVANT JOURNALS
