Selecting a peer-review journal for your manuscript is an important decision that should be considered thoughtfully. There is much more to selecting a target journal than simply choosing the journal with the highest readership or impact factor. Selecting the right target journal for your manuscript really depends on finding a journal whose scope fits your field of research and whose publishing characteristics meet your needs. Taking time to think about your publishing goals will help you base your selection on what you really hope to accomplish with each manuscript. Ideally, you should choose a target journal before writing your manuscript, so you can best tailor the format and content to match the types of articles the journal publishes. Many journals provide a manuscript template either through their website or through Endnote.
