Please, Could any one suggest for me a journal with rapid publication in the field of plant pathology or soil microbiology, a journal indexed in Web, Scopus, low IF, and without fees, to publish my research paper.
You may consider the followings Scopus indexed journals:
1) https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/19238
2) https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/16614
3) https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/13000154710
4) https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/19790
You can go to respective journal websites to find out about article processing/publication fee. Usually most of the journals don't charge unless you opt for open access for your article.
The Journal of Plant Pathology (JPP or JPPY) is one of the world’s oldest international journals covering fundamental and applied aspects of Plant Pathology. The JPP publishes original contributions written in English, in the form of full-length papers, short communications, disease notes, and review articles on mycology, bacteriology, virology, phytoplasmatology, physiological plant pathology, plant-pathogen interactions, post-harvest diseases, non-infectious diseases, and plant protection. In vivo results are required for plant protection submissions. Varietal trials for disease resistance and gene mapping are not published in the journal unless such findings are already employed in the context of strategic approaches for disease management. Studies identifying actual genes involved in virulence are pertinent to the scope of the Journal and may be submitted. All contributions are peer reviewed under the supervision of an international Editorial Board. The journal highlights particularly timely or novel contributions in its Editors’ choice section, to appear at the beginning of each volume.
If you want to publish fast, you will have to pay. Traditional journals can take very long time to accept and publish. I would recommend journals of MDPI, because they publish in less than a month. Although, you will have to pay a fee of around 2000 Euros. Depending on your work, you can consider the following journals of MDPI (Viruses, Fungi, Forests, etc).
MDPI journals are the quickest journals in terms of publications, giving first decision in 15-17 days, and publishing paper within 1 month. If you are looking for fast publication then go for MDPI journals.
A special issue "Applications of Plant Pathology in Horticultural and Floricultural Crops" has been recently issued in Journal of agronomy MDPI (IF: 2.603). Submit your manuscript in this journal and you will get published your paper in a short period of time. Good luck 👌👌👌
