No. Impact Factor matters, but it's not the only criterion. Scope compatibility, indexing, review timeline, and accessibility often matter more , especially for early-career authors. Our expert weighs all five factors before recommending a journal.
We don't rank recommendations as "first" and "second." Instead, we present 3–5 journals with a rationale for each, so you can choose based on your own priorities , impact, speed, cost, or accessibility.
No. Every recommendation is produced by a PhD expert who reads your manuscript and assesses each candidate journal manually. We do not use automated journal matching for this service.
Open-Access journals make articles freely available to readers, typically charging an Article Processing Charge to authors. Subscription-based journals charge readers or institutions, and usually have no APC. Both can be indexed and both can carry strong Impact Factors , the right choice depends on your funding and audience.
