SUMMARY

The discussion centers around choosing between publishing in the Royal Chemical Society Journals, specifically "Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics," and the "Materials Science Forum" by Trans Tech Publications. Participants emphasize that the decision should be based on the content of the paper and the journal's relevance to that content, rather than solely on impact factors. The importance of seeking guidance from supervisors or colleagues is highlighted, as well as the necessity of having peers review and critique the paper before submission. Additionally, the impact factor of 1.742 is mentioned, indicating a specific metric for evaluating journal quality.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of journal impact factors and their significance in academic publishing
  • Familiarity with the Royal Chemical Society Journals and Trans Tech Publications
  • Knowledge of the peer review process and its importance in manuscript acceptance
  • Experience in academic writing and research publication standards
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to calculate and interpret journal impact factors
  • Explore the submission guidelines for the Royal Chemical Society Journals
  • Learn about the peer review process and best practices for manuscript preparation
  • Investigate the specific focus areas of the "Materials Science Forum" to assess fit for your research
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, graduate students, and academics seeking guidance on journal selection for publishing their scientific work, particularly in the fields of chemistry and materials science.

Thank you!

This question has as much meaning as my question here:

"What color suits me better - purple or pink?"

If you say that it depends on my skin complexion, other outfit am I wearing, etc.. etc., then BINGO!

Furthermore, shouldn't someone within your collaboration (or your supervisor/boss) would have a clue on where to publish? They certainly would know more than strangers on an internet forum!

I second what ZapperZ says, of course.

The reason we cannot possibly answer your question is that it depends on a number of things - not least of all the content in your paper. You want to (presumably) maximize the chances the paper will be accepted and published. Then, if you submit to a journal that isn't known for carrying your type of work you're in the wrong place.

Are you a grad student or? Like Zapper says, someone you are working with should know where to submit to.

this is what i would like to do but I do not know how to find which of those has an higher impact factor.
Thank you!

Ask a librarian. That's what they get paid to do.

It is still puzzling that you do not have anyone at your institution or collaborators who you can ask.

Also if you don't have people that go through the paper to critique and edit it, it's extremely unlikely that it's going to get published anywhere.

This is because my boss is not the person to ask us about us and he is asking others about ask, so I do not want to ask my colleagues about this as they can say to him about our discussion and he knows we have different opinion on this.
Not always the situation is excellent but better in this lab than jobless.

I will do this! Thank you!
 
How is the impact factor 1.742?
Thank you!
