Dear Colleagues,
Antimicrobial screening of crude plant extracts, are not welcoming in high impact factor journals. However, some researchers from developing countries who find themselves in a poor lab. facilities have to publish such basic studies "Publish or perish", until they find a chance to go deeper with more advanced tests and techniques, mostly by getting a post-doctoral positions in developed countries!
So, those researchers have to publish such humble studies in any journal accept such work.
The question is, do you know or do you have a list of reputed journals publish such preliminary studies?
I hope you recommend journals not enlisted in:
Beall's List of Predatory Journals and Publishers
Thank you so much
If some degree is your target, then research of repetitive type is O.K. But so far I understand, such copy paste research or research following the same pattern of another 50 - 100 published paper of no use.
The developed countries always want to continue their business by selling newer technologies. So, why they should accept research papers on the work done on so called old technology?
I am from India, a developing country. I feel that we should not follow the researches of the first world with our inferior laboratory, as it is not possible to do something better than the workers of first world. Imported instruments, imported chemicals and imported ideas can give us actually nothing in basic research.
We should concentrate on the researches we need in our own country. It should be planned as per infrastructure and resources available in our country at maximum level.
This is the only way to be followed, as per my idea.
Thanks.

Thank you so so much Dr. Shibabrata Pattanayak ,
You have touched the heart of the truth!
Actually, my home country is Sudan, sophisticated techniques in such developing country is not a current priority or future plan!., and considered as costly researches too, without real output for development!.
I agree with you.
However, the problem is still there, as a researcher from developing country, how can you publish in a Q1- ranking journal under many obstacles such as:
1- The fluently of language! " English is not a science! it is just a tool !";
2- The facilities, instruments and well equipped lab;
3- The criteria of high impact journals;
3-The local interest and fund.
4- The complicated life in the developing countries where person should waist a lot of time to provide a decent life.
And many more ???
Regards
I hope some one share a list or a table of reputed journal, no fees and non-predatory; suitable for researchers with limited facilities.
Cheers
