To find the right journal for your research, carefully consider your research topic, target audience, and the journal's scope, reputation, and publication requirements. Analyze the journal's content, editorial board, and indexing to ensure it aligns with your research goals and quality standards.The purpose of your article will help you determine if it’s suitable for your target journal. Why did you write this article? To inform the reader? To prove a concept? To persuade the reader to do something? Consider what the focus of your research is, and who you’d expect to read it and maybe even go on to cite it in their own work. This will build a picture of the type of journal you should be targeting. The reference lists of similar articles to yours can also be a very useful resource. Take note of the journals that are regularly cited to identify which journals you should explore in more depth.

Reading articles in your shortlisted journals is a good way to evaluate the quality of their publication. This will also help you recognize the kind of articles the journal publishes and the topics it covers. It’s a simple but very effective way of understanding whether your research is the right fit. You can do this for Taylor & Francis journals by registering for an account at Taylor & Francis Online. Once you are set up, you will receive email notifications when new articles and issues are published in the journals you’ve selected.

The journal’s aims statement will inform you of the objective or purpose of the journal, while the scope explains how it will be achieved. If you understand what the journal is trying to accomplish, you can assess whether your article helps with that mission. If you find that there are aspects of your research that don’t fit the scope of your target journals, it can be a sign that they may not be right for you. Try to tailor your article to the objectives of the journal that most closely suits your research and publication goals.
