Dear Ademolawa Michael Adedipe

I think there are some important factors in publishing a research including: Publisher, Journal IF and Indexing.

But the "country of publication"? I don't think so.

Yes, a good journal will add to a country.

On paper, there is no difference, provided the articles published in the journal are of interest.

Nevertheless, there are two ironies: one, accessibility of the journal and two, a sublime north-south divide.

Thank you for your insightful contribution. I will always be in favour of quality and indexed journals.

I think the country where the journal is published is important. Often papers published in journals from US, UK or other European countries are often viewed more prestigious than the ones published in third world countries.

You are absolutely right! There is this question of pedigree.

There is an influence whether it is right or not. Articles published in countries such as USA and Western Europe appear to have more esteem than those published elsewhere. At least there is the perception that the review process, the rigor of the work and the reliability of findings of articles published in the countries mentioned above are at a higher level compared to others.

Very important.

Mr. Abdullah Noori; Be specific instead of merely mentioning third world countries. To an extent I agree with you that journals from US and European countries are highly regarded; but not completely.

Thank you for your contributions Dr. Dmytro Leshchenko , Dr. Shanmukhasundaram V R and Dr. Srini Vasan

It really matters though on the surface it seems it does not.

Rather I say the language with which we write the article

Language is another key factor Dr. Hassan.

More than the country it is the outreach to the people and learning is whay I feel is important. I may be working on a journal not from my base country if its outreach to other researchers is significant and more distributed.

Thank you for your contribution Dr. Mehdizadeh and Dr. Jain

Thank you for your contribution Dr. Ahmadi Murjani

I agree with Abdullah Noori as well as it is advanced in the field of specialization, for example, soil science is very advanced in them and there are some countries that follow the example of such countries as Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. Research in the journals of these countries (America, the United Kingdom and Australia) is of great importance in scientific promotion and scientific Evaluation.

best regards

Yes, the important factors are Publisher; IF and indexing. Which country is immaterial.
