Keywords:
Impact factor, publishing goals, open access
Abstract
The selection of the journal for the manuscript may significantly influence the author’s career, and it can also strongly determine the impact that the reported findings will have. The process of selecting the journal for a manuscript should thus be done carefully and considering the publication goals.References
