After language inconsistency, incorrect journal choice is the most common reason for manuscript rejection. Journals look for research topics that best match their own scope and aims. Moreover, the decision to accept or reject a paper may also depend on the type of research document an author submits. For instance, submitting a case report to a journal that does not publish that type of research, will certainly lead to paper rejection. At the same time, while a journal may have a high impact factor and excellent visibility, it might not be the best choice for your subject area or research topic. Most of all, choosing the right journal out of approximately 42,500 peer-reviewed journals and 11,811 open-access journals can be laborious and very confusing! Publishing your manuscript in the right journal is critical to help your research get read, cited, and to make real-world impact.
