I had observed many researchers publishing their research papers in some journals where they are not at all indexed and the current status of the journals are vulnerable in India. Journals are not looking into the paradigm of some papers. As I am unable to suggest what to say when someone asks me for a good journal with good indexing and citation with fast accessing and low economy to publish. Please suggest me the best journals of medicine/pharmacy that can do process fast and do publish as early as possible with Medline/Pubmed or EMBASE citation. There are many journals in world and budding of new journals are increasing day by day. I felt so sad of the Manuscript processing system of some of the Journals. my friend had submitted his first research paper on March 12th in Indian Journal of Pharmacology and till day 2 review had happened, but there is no response from the journals of acceptance/rejection. Sometimes co-authors are curious to know the updates and looses his/her confidence upon the paper.

Please provide some suggest, how to overcome all these. Suggest me some of the good Journals of Medicine/Pharmacy which has fast access and whether the article is accepted/rejection should be addressed faster. Because waiting for more than 6 months will be like a frustration to the younger researchers and finally if it is rejected, then its hard to reconsider for other journals.

Your suggestion and comments are most welcomed.
