Greetings all,
I'd like to ask if 'Oral Oncology Reports' as a companion journal to the well-known 'Oral Oncology' journal would be a good choice to publish?
The journal is a very recent one .. May be only launched in 2022. It was the Editor-in-chief of the 'oral oncology' journal who recommended transferring the manuscript to such new journal. By the way, he is the same Editor-In-Chief!
The journal is indexed in Scopus as written on its website (despite I searched for its name in Scopus & didn't find it!). Of course, no impact factor is present & not listed yet in WOS database.
My question is: Is it wise to publish in such newly borne journal gaining the merit of currently free open access publication offer?
If the manuscript was accepted & published, will it have sufficient credibility later when the journal get known & listed in different reputable databases?
Thanks in advance
Dear Basant Hamdy This is an example of a so-called companion journal, see for other examples:

Personally, I would say: go for it. As you said yourself you can publish open access for free (they will start to charge a pretty hefty fee for submissions next year). I don’t know if they know more than we do but according to the latest Scopus source list (see enclosed file) they are not listed (yet) and not included in the accepted list. However as indicated in my replies in the above links they most likely will be indexed in Scopus soon (and most likely all papers including the ones published last year and this year).
So, I would say it is OK.
Best regards.
