How a researcher could publish his article in a Journal with maximum impact factor?
Thanks in advance
The highest impact factor of journals vary by field. Normally, medical journals have the highest impact factor. In my area of specialty, the highest has an impact factor of 12, followed by a handful between 7 and 10.
I have one paper in a top tier journal in my area. This is what I learned while preparing the manuscript:
1. Have a good research topic
If your research topic is not cutting-edge chances of your paper being accepted are low. Because many people might be doing exactly what you're doing. You research topic might help you stand out.
2. High quality manuscript
Your manuscript should be reliable, valid, reproducible and sound. That means your abstract should capture the novelty and essence of your paper, your introduction the significance of the study and the results proof of sound scientific contribution.
3. Excellent language use
Your high quality research should be complemented by a high quality manuscript. You need to edit your manuscript for style, flow, clarity and grammar. Nothing frustrates reviewers and editors more than a sloppy manuscript. Edit as many times as possible.
4. Persuasive cover letter
Your cover letter should highlight the novelty of your paper by emphasizing the unique things you did and the potential contribution of your findings to the subject. Your target audience should be the primary audience of the journal.
5. Edit again and again and again
After doing everything, edit. Don't be in a rush to submit. Edit. Take a day break from the manuscript and then edit. Take a week break and then edit. I took a six month break from the manuscript and edited. If you have the funds higher a professional.
Here are a few suggestions that may increase your chances of being published in a high impact journal:
1. Find the high impact factor journals relevant to your study on Clarivate Analytics.
2. Confirm that your study suits the purposes of the journal by checking the aims and scope on the journal's website.
3. Comply fully with all format and style requirements for the manuscript.
4. Look at the editorial board and make sure to cite the works of relevant editors.
5. Attempt to cite works published in the journal within the last two years.
6. Promptly and thoroughly respond to any reviewers' suggested revisions.

It depends from subject to subject. But in any field, if someone wants to publish in a journal of high impact factor, the quality of the paper must be very fine and high.
Hi,
You could choose a high impact journal in your field, and check its aim and scope, and see that the subject of your paper matches the aim and scope of the journal. Then you could check the type of papers that managed to be published in this journal, and adhere to the journal style. Then make sure that your results are original, and preferably a breakthrough in your field. Check the editors of the journal, and observe how many papers from your field and your country they tend to publish.
I hope all this will help .
Also is very important to evaluate rejection rate and subject coverage of the journal, and you experience in publishing.
Interesting ideas are in the following link. The one I like more is "If you are publishing in emerging fields where much research has not been done, you have good chance to get published, even though its not groundbreaking. First movers are always at an advantage. Just like patents."

I do agree with Mr. Chalamala Srinivas rich comment.

Hi,
I see three ways of publishing in a high impact journal: A. write an original paper B. find a high impact journal that covers your field. C. Adhere to the journal's publication style.
When you accomplished all the needed steps, you may send your paper with a hope that it will fall into "good hands" of reliable reviewers.
good luck.
