I have wrote a research paper on methane production from lignocellulosic biomass. I want to publish this paper in journal of JCR list which are publishing in less times?
Hi,
I answered a similar question earlier - here the gist of it:
The main objective when publishing is to be read - as in read by those who are your friends and colleagues in your scientific field. But if you publish in a predatory journal or any other journal that is lax regarding the reviewing process (which essentially means that the editors don't read it at all!), then you will be sorry that you took that route. Why?
It's an easy answer to that question: if the time taken for the journal to come to a conclusion regarding whether your paper needs to be adjusted or can be published is in the order of a week or up to a month only, then you are trying to publish in the wrong journal.
What you need is that the reviewing process is thorough - done by experts in the field. If you submit to any "quick" journal, there is a very high probability that it will never by read carefully by anyone. Why would you risk that to happen? The point is to publish a good paper in a good journal that is read by many - which means that it should be a journal with a good reputation.
What makes you think that you can get a thorough review in a couple of weeks from a credible journal? You will not. Mark my word.
