AIMS AND SCOPE

A journal's aim is the objective or purpose of what the journal is trying to accomplish. The scope is how the journal will accomplish this. The journal is briefly explained under the section on Aims & Scope. Fields covered, articles published, and peer-review guidelines are additional aspects.

Understanding the Aims & Scope of a journal is critical to getting past the first hurdle of editorial review, and on to the peer review process. Failure to properly fit the subject scope of the journal or to help it further its editorial aims are common reasons for immediate rejection of submissions. The aims and scope may also state the intended readership and community of the journal.

Some applied journals may feature research that is directly useful for industry or manufacturing, or farming processes. In addition to making sure your article satisfies the requirements outlined in this vital section, Transstellar experts make sure that it will not be rejected by the publisher. The Editors advise you on the Author's Guidelines section too. Style, wording, rules, and templates are crucial concepts to understand in order to properly publish your work.

SCOPE & POLICIES

The objectives and purpose of the journal's guidelines outlines what the publisher expects readers will accomplish, and experts from Transtellar will make sure your work complies with those guidelines. Before deciding on the ideal journal, there are several things to think about. Transtellar consultants will help you choose the best one for you.

"Scope," simply stated, is the journal's purpose or objective. This is what the publication wants to achieve by delivering its content to its readers. Also known as "aim" or "mission," a journal's goals contain many factors you will want to consider when deciding if the journal is right for you.

IMPACT FACTOR (JCC)

Impact factor is commonly used to evaluate the relative importance of a journal within its field and to measure the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular time period. Journal which publishes more review articles will get the highest IFs.

The impact factor is useful in clarifying the significance of absolute citation frequencies. It eliminates some of the bias of such counts which favor large journals over small ones, or frequently issued journals over less frequently issued ones, and of older journals over newer ones. Particularly in the latter case such journals have a larger citable body of literature than smaller or younger journals. All things being equal, the larger the number of previously published articles, the more often a journal will be cited.

Impact Factor (JCC), a metric, developed and promulgated by ASJR and regularly published in the annual ASJR reports is a fundamental citation-based measure for significance and performance of journals. Here JCC refers to the computation methodology which can be expanded as Journal Contextual coherence and Capability.

Impact Factor - JCC is an unique, systematic and scientific way of computation and analysis based on the following

I. Governance and Commercial Quality
II. Editorial quality
III. International presence and Infrastructure
IV. Contextual citation

VISIBILITY & QUALITY

The quality and impact of the journal are identified through how widely it is read, how often it is cited, and its perception and image in the community. Various parameters and measures of Journal quality and impact are used such as: Impact Factor, SCImago Journal Rank, Article Influence, and H-Index.

There are various parameters to assess the quality of  the journal:
Citation Analysis. It makes sense to rank a journal by its average citation record since this indicates its popularity, Peer Review & Analysis, Circulation and Coverage, Journal Ranking, Acceptance/Rejection Rates etc.,

TIME & COSTS

Reviewers are often given three to four weeks to conduct a review for a journal. The peer review process might be difficult to foresee because few publications have a system in place to enforce the deadline for the reviewers. According to our experience, some journals take 8–12 weeks to decide, while others can take up to 6 months and, in rarer circumstances, even a year. Regardless of the researcher's academic background, journal rejections are frequent. Some journals choose to publish without charging authors because they have low overhead, significant readership, or sponsorships. The cost of publishing scientific articles is always a financial burden (paying for the publisher's employees, servers, printing expenses, taxes etc.,)
