In my opening, the most common mistakes made by researchers (even the expert researchers) is choosing an unsuitable journal.
Criteria :
-where most of your sources and prior references have published
-where your peers will be able to find you and read you
-where your research institution recognises quality publishing
Now if you don't get the time or chance to get a peer reviewed journal, you may consider a self edited paper e.g. here on researchgate.net, and if you advertise for it in researchgate.net and LinkedIn you may succeed in getting attention, feedback and comments, which will help you also.
Dear Samir Begaa,
The Journal should be chosen first of all considering the substantive profile of the issues in which the specific Journal specializes. Then, the other criteria should be considered, i.e. the place, the institution which is the publisher. Is the institution of the publisher who runs the editorial office of a specific Journal recognizable, recognized and renowned in the scientific community. In addition, please check whether in the editorial process the texts sent to the Journal's editorial team are reviewed and by whom they are reviewed, i.e. Reviewers are specialists in a given field of knowledge, in the issues covered by the article. In addition, it is also important whether the Journal is indexed and articles published in a specific Journal are entered, indexed to various recognized, global databases of scientific publications. It is also important whether the Scientific Council of a given Journal has recognized authorities, scientists who are specialties in the fields of knowledge that are covered by a specific Journal. It is also important whether the specific Journal is on the lists of recognized, renowned academic journals, ie, for example, Web of Science and Scopus.
Best wishes
