You can submit your article in any journal. The journal manager or editor will either send it for review or reject it considering your articles scope and journals scope. Journals in life science will not accept engineering research article. Apart from scope matching, authors might be interested to get maximum citation from their publication. How will you know that, this journal will give you maximum citations in next couple of years? Here goes my pick on journal selection criteria:
1. Scope: check scope of the journal before submitting. If it is a multidisciplinary journal and you are confused about its scope whether it covers your subject area, send an enquiry to check with the journal editor. 


2. Impact factor: Among hundreds of journal in your subject area, there are prestigious high impact journals promising you maximum citation as these journals has higher visibility then low impact journals. Thanks to google scholar, the visibility issue does not play much important role now-a-days. However, Publication in high impact journal boosts researchers’ confidence and it helps in getting scholarships, job, research funding as well as reputation as a researcher. So, aim for the highest impact journal where you can get your article accepted for publication.

3. Review lead time: Selecting a first track journal is important for PhD/masters students as they need articles published during their candidature. Some journal takes nearly years to give a decision from reviewers. Journals publishing six (6) or more issue per year will review articles quickly than quarterly journals.

4. Acceptance rate: Do not get upset by low acceptance rate of a journal. There are tonnes of article submitted in reputed journals and they reject 80% of them. But most rejections are based on mismatch of subject area and bad formatting of articles. However, low acceptance rate journals might take longer lead time to review as there is a long queue. So take it as an important selection criterion while choosing a journal.

5. Regional & society Journals: Research topics focused on a regional issues, like geography of Southeast Asia, or Europe should be published in journals published from those regions. Many professional societies publish journals regularly. Some of these societies are highly reputed in their subject area. Young scientists have a tendency to avoid such journals and focus more on renowned publishers only. But interested authors must anticipate tough peer reviewing.

Some important tools for selecting journal:
1. Elsevier Journal Finder: Not a top-notch search engine yet. Still in developing stage.
2. ISI Journal citation report
3. Journalseek


Publication.Easy is offering Journal Finder service. We consider clients need and articles quality to select most suitable journal for quick publication considering all the above mentioned criteria. So, check with us before underestimating or overestimating your article. Treat yourself better!


Happy publishing!
Most researchers are eager to submit their paper immediately after finishing the write up. Being too excited to get the paper published leads to some common mistakes. After finishing write up and enough revisions, take a break. Celebrate the occasion.




1. Check scope: Give some extra time in finding your suitable journal. If you are not completely convinced by the aim and scope of the journal (in most cases, multidisciplinary journals are confusing), better ask the journal editor/manager to check whether that journal is suitable for your  article. Send them your title and keywords. Wait for a day for response. Its always a good practice to check before submitting.

2. Take some time off: Journal article submission is not like sending email. Take your time to register and provide all necessary info. Some journal asks for highlights. Most authors do not write highlights in manuscript preparations. They just types it in haste to submit it quickly. Give some time to write highlights and cover letters to editor. Check all figure files before submitting. 

3. Author list: It is vital for all postgrads. Do not submit a paper without consulting your supervisors. If he/she is too busy to read it all(in most cases they are), at least take instructions about author-list. Order of supervisors in author-list could be vital. Some mean supervisor can get offended by your author-list. Its better to avoid unwanted complications with supervisors. Another important issue is corresponding author. Try to get corresponding authorship. Getting your name in first position of author-list can add value in job  and scholarship applications.

Happy publishing!

IEEE conference proceedings and journal articles cover a substantial research works in the area of electrical and computer engineering. From IEEE sponsored international conferences to IEEE transaction journals, our bona-fide reviewers have long time experience in reviewing and preparing #IEEE based research manuscripts. Our reviewers are from diverse background such as#electrical #engineering , computer engineering,  #computer science, and #biomedical engineering. Even after having excellent research aptitudes, many authors have hard time in articulating their hypotheses, contributions, and arguments in literature. While plagiarism itself is a blatant academic offense, the concept of self-plagiarism is often ignored. Self-plagiarism often conceals the authors’ novel contribution which may result in a rejection or even a conviction of plagiarising own work. Therefore, a researcher may have concern about his own sentences, terminologies, and style of writing which continue to repeat over the time as he/she tries to avoid self-plagiarism. This often happens inadvertently for those who are contributing over their existing works on regular basis. A revision through an expert eye can reformat the articles to lessen the percentage of self-similarity or self-plagiarism.


Publication.EASY also review for plagiarism upon request and amend the writing style up to a certain range. All you have to do is confidently claim the novelty or contribution of your work without copying anything that already exists in literature.  We can shape your ideas and results through proper scientific language and IEEE format. Our reviewers cum editors are also adept in Latex based editing as well as word to #Latex , Latex to word, PDF to word conversions. We also check if your final manuscript is compliant with IEEE format as well as make necessary amendments which include changing figure quality, size, page margins, and so on.
