I prefer the ISI journals, yes it is with Impact Factor. It is free, but it consider the quality of the paper as the highest priority.
It depends on who you want to read your article and where you want your influence to be felt.
If you want promotion in the academic field, I would suggest peer reviewed journals with high impact factors. Supporting newer journals who are seeking quality articles for a new readership is good as well. It sometimes may be easier to get published in a newer journal that is seeking to establish itself. A combination of both would be ideal.
However, if you want a broad readership outside the academic domain, I would recommend blogs, magazines, opinion pieces in newspapers or open access publications in your field (in addition to a few high impact journal articles).
Then of course there is the challenge of finding a way to publish in areas where you have a readership of those who think differently to you. For instance, if you're a liberal academic, writing a nuanced article for a conservative audience would be quite rewarding.
A good poser you have here my bro
First, look at the Scope of the journal.
Second, consider the strength of peer review.
Third, consider the quality of word published in the journal.
Fourth, consider the indexes where the journal is indexed.
Fifth, look at the research background of the editors.
Sixth, consider your audience
Seventh, you may then consider the impact factors which is just a mathematical rating.
Thank U
Dear Mr . Adeleke, Thank you for your expertise comment. Do you mean impacts factors should be the list while considering the quality of a journal?
