If you already have the title and abstract for your article, you can use the following tools from Elsevier and Springer to help you pick a right journal among those that belong to the respective publisher
http://journalfinder.elsevier.com
http://journalsuggester.springer.com
The output of these tools shows inter alia average article processing times and impact factors of the journals and, if I recall correctly, also publication fees and open access fees, if any.
In many journals you can publish free of charge if you do NOT make your article open access (i.e. it is available only to journal subscribers), but this should be checked for each journal separately.
Once you make a short list of potentially suitable journals, you can check whether they are covered by Scopus here
https://blog.scopus.com/posts/titles-indexed-in-scopus-check-before-you-publish
and by Web of Science here

You can also check whether a journal is in JCR here
jcr.incites.thomsonreuters.com/
You can check the Communication journals included on JCR reading this list (page 10)
