 Hello all, a warm welcome from Think Gluttle channel. In this video, we are going to learn how to select journal for publication. All the websites which we are going to discuss in this presentation can be accessed through the links given in the description of this video below. There are three important steps. First step is arranging the list of the journals from which you are going to select the journals. Then second step is out of the journals some parameters should be assessed. Then in the third step we should look at whether a journal is a predatory journal or not. So step one is I am going to show how the list of journals can be gathered. For this there are various ways the most easiest and the convenient way is to ask your colleagues, seniors or field experts. The second is this technique that just to type in Google search your subject not the topic of your article but that when you type your subject with the journal then the list of journals will appear. For example, here I have put a public health journal, play the public health journals related. You have to select one among these journals. Then third way is to go for the journal finder which is offered by jainbiosemantics.org where you can type either the title or the abstract here. For example, if I am typing pregnancy and anemia that is my type is supposed to be if I am going to type the journals will appear here. So these are all journals which can best published these journals will best published title with pregnancy and anemia. So like jainbiosemantics.org LC will also provide a journal finder with this link. So where you can type the title, paper title or abstract or the keywords or the field of the research and you can refine your search based on the publication type journal impact factor review and publication time and then you can go for the find journals where you can filter some journals where the publication fee is more or publication time more then you can filter out those journals. Then the third is the similar to the LC where Spinger Nature also provides this journal suggested where you can type either your title or your manuscript text or the subject area again the same way you can refine your recommendations the impact factor minimum acceptance rate maximum time to first decision and indexing services then you can click on this suggest journals where you will get the list of journals, edans journal selector where you can like LC and Springer and jainbiosemantics this journal selector service is also provided by edans. So that is given with the link which will be given in the description from Schemago that is we can get the journal rankings also based on various parameters. So suppose if I am choosing medicine in against the subject and in subject category suppose if I want to look for epidemiology and then the regions either the regions can be selected or the countries can be selected specifically and the types here journals if we select here. So it will suggest what are all the epidemiology under epidemiology journals in a suppose if I type asiatic region. So these are all the leading journals which are written published from Asia with high SJR is an that is Schemago journal rank indicator based on that based on multiple factors they are making this indicator. So in descending order they will list this journals. So that is how you can collect the list of journals on your particular subject and refine it to your topic. This is one more important website that is PubMed. Many of the journals mention that they have the PubMed indexing either that PubMed indexing may not be valid at this point of time or they may be predatory and they may portray that they are having PubMed indexing but genuinely there will not be any PubMed indexing. So we need to access that we need to check this is the platform where you have to check whether the journal is indexed with PubMed or not. This is the link for that then this is the step so far we have seen in the step one how to get the list of journals in your subject topic that is first and foremost is to ask your colleagues, seniors or the field experts. Then go to Google, type in the journals, the list of journals appear, so reach out each of these journals and this list can be also made with the journal selectors like Jane Bio-Semitic, Selseaver, Springer Nature and Edan's site. Then Schemago gives you the rank list of all these journals in particular region, in particular categories etc. So in this site we will check whether it is genuinely PubMed indexed or not. Now we are moving on to the second important step that is after selecting that journal we have to assess those journals based on the following criteria. First is we have to look at the aim and scope of the journal whether that aim and scope of the journal matches with your topic or not that is the most important factor in selecting the journal for publication so then we if this fits if the aim and scope of the journal fits into your topic then we have to proceed. For this how we can identify is from the name of the journal itself we can identify sometimes we have to go to the about the journal and about us they will give what are all their focus area so this will give you the focus area so from this you can identify or guess your article can be published in this journal or not then the most important factor is the indexing second important step is indexing so we have to see which are all the journal is indexed with here we have to carefully see this this journal is registered with the following abstracting partners and this journal is indexed with this whenever they mention it is indexed this is this should be considered this is registered that they are waiting for indexing but they will display in their websites so we should not get biased with this data but we should look at this so here what are all the important indexing agencies we want to know means PubMed that is PubMed is here then Scopus Scopus is also here EM base but overall with the indexing this is a good standard journal so now in in India MCA gives the indexing as index copper nicas which will be invariably present in many of the predatory journals so we can for the publication purpose if we are checking index copper nicas is present then to just took for the sake of convincing MCA for the sake of promotion we can look for only for index copper nicas that is enough when it comes to indexing then the third actor in the step 2 is the publication fee you have to see whether there is any publication fee for this journal or not so how to identify this whether in about us it will be there or we have to go to the instructions and instructions we have to see the authors currently we are not able to load with the instructions for publication fee we need to look at this instructions and we should be very careful that sometimes some journals will mention that there is no publication fee but there may be some processing fee which will be a huge amount whereas small researchers cannot bear so that also we need to check as a third important factor fourth important factor is the turnaround time that is when you submit this article how long they take for publishing that can you can select the previous RQs the turnaround time can be accessed through the previous RQs go into the individual journal articles in that article when was the submitted when was the article published that date you just compare and you just get to a conclusion of the turnaround time of this journal then we have to look at the acceptance rate also so some journals will mention this acceptance rate if the acceptance rate is too high it is going to be a predatory journal it is too low your the chance of your article getting published is going to be minimal so with this five factors that is aim and the scope of journal matching with your topic second is the publication fee third is indexing fourth is the turnaround time fifth is the acceptance rate with this we usually we have to access this journals and then we have to list from that list we have to come to a conclusion which journal can be applied and remember the fact that at a time one journal should be approached for publication we cannot do multiple manuscript submissions at the same time that is high that is highly unethical which none of the journals encourage then the third important step of this presentation is going to be predatory journal identification so we have two important sites for predatory journal sites that is one is the predatory journals dot com where you will get the list of predatory journals here just to before publishing you should check the name of the journal here confirm that the journal is not present here then you should publish that is one site the other site is the real list of predatory journals and publishers this is the first this is the first websites of this kind so here we have many categories that is publishers where where there are predatory publishers there is no standard definitions for predatory journals and publishers according to me the definition is very simple when the journal which actually does not exist or display false credentials then the journal is said to be a predatory journal so for example we here we will have a list of publishers a tree journals and these are all the standalone journals where the functioning of the journal is not existing or they they display false credentials in their websites and the vanity press is one important concept that is how it is different from a predatory journal is predatory journal says that there is a peer review but actually there is there may be either no review or there will be a flawed review but in vanity press they say that there is they say openly that there is no peer review but they collect this article and they sell it through Amazon to others so that is called as vanity press the vanity press list is also given here so we can access here so currently it is not getting open so this you can this site link you can open and you can explore before publishing and what are all the misleading metrics in when it comes to the journal standards that also given here and hijacked journals list is also given here this is very interesting to see that is the same journal will be present in one website domain the other website domain will will claim that that is the that website is the official website of a particular journal and this high this then it becomes a hijacked journal and they collect money they publish sometimes they even send the hard copy to the authors so that way the journal journals are hijacked that list is also given here these are all the list of predatory journals and publishers with this website we are ending the step three that is first is a step one to get the list of journals step two is identifying the individual factors among the journals step three is getting to know about the predatory journals after completing all these steps you will be clear to publish the journal hopefully this presentation was useful to you thank you very much if you haven't subscribed to the channel please subscribe click on the bell icon thank
