One possible strategy is to pre-publish with a free repository (e.g. SSRN) and to cooperate with life insurance firms. Your current article might be the foundation stone of a greater publication (e.g. e-book) on the behavioral side (human perception/value preferences) of insurance and life risks.

I would highly recommend Free Publishings in my University.

Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics

has been publishing scientific journal

"Herald of KNUTE"

"Foreign trade: economics, finance, law ".

"COMMODITIES AND MARKETS"

Thanks for responding, it is a great help.  

Dear Stephen I. Ternyik

can you elaborate your answer further ......

The study has a strong behavioral aspect, of course limited to a local market. It could be a starting point for a comparative study in India, concerning human value preferences and investments against life risks. The country gets wealthier and more private players will join the market; according to your results, life insurance is at rank 4. Registering with SSRN gives you many opportunities for free: author profile with ideas/projects, circulating your pre-pub articles in e-journals, etc. A collection of such research articles can make for a good e-book, which you can create almost cost-free( e.g. with smashwords). In addition, it could be wise to seek the cooperation with firms that are trying to enter the market; so, I do think, behavioral finance is very country specific and that makes this approach very practical.

You should try the Asia and Pacific Journal of Risk and Insurance to get good feedbacks

check ABDC list, it is a very comprehensive list, has quality journals only but with different rankings.

You can also try the 2015 Association of Business School (ABS) list ....

You can try ABS, CNRS, JCR lists. most of the journals are common in these lists and are of good quality. You can also check you local journals ranking as well.

Try to publish in ABDC listed journals. It is a comprehensive list with category and names of the publishers. Focus for Scopus of Web of Science Indexed journals. But these journals expect high quality research.

Dear Iqbal

Thanks for reply.

I had a look at both JCR impact factors and ABS's 2018 Academic Journal Guide (AJG). I would suggest not to use AJG. I have analyzed it in the following blog post and came to the conclusion that it does not reflect the quality of journals in my discipline at all. JCR somehow reflected the quality, but be careful with such rankings in general: https://scmresearch.org/2018/03/14/ranking-journals-academic-journal-guide-2018-abs-list/

yes finding a good journal using the website links and publishing in ABDC ranking is the real good option. In this process what I have learnt is the explicit style of writing and strong methodology really help.

All the best!
