How to choose good journals from a long list of international journals for publication? What things a researcher should see while choosing journals?
What I do is that I look for abstracting and indexing. But still I want to know what information should we look in abstracting/indexing and other things we should look for in journals.
You can find the list of high-ranking Journals related to your field.

(ranked by SCImago: from the highest value (Q1) to the lowest value (Q4)).
Moreover, you can use a Journal Finder Tool (developed by Elsevier) to select your suitable journals. The tool then generates a list of Elsevier journals that match the topic of their abstract. They can then order the results based on their priorities, such as highest Impact Factor or shortest editorial time.
For your reference, you can see in the link bellow.

Thanks Pham, I appreciate your feedback. Is the Journal finder give you relevant list of journals or some of them may not be relevant?
I doubt the journal finder recommended list most of the time as they give me irrelevant journals. But, I will try again.
This Journal finder just give the list of Elsevier journals, if you consider the Journals of Elsevier, you can use this finder tool. However, apart from Elsevier, there may be other Publishers that cover more high-ranking journals.
In my opinion, Scimago Journal ranking is very useful to find the list of journals. We can select an appropriate one by considering our research field. Journals can be ranked by SJR, H-index, or citation. You can see in the link bellow.
