Choosing the appropriate journal for publishing your paper
is of utmost importance, as you are only allowed to submit your
manuscript to one journal at a time. It is equally crucial to be able
to recognize predatory journals and refrain from publishing your
articles in such journals. In this session, we will provide an
introduction to the process of ascertaining the rankings of journals
in different fields using Scopus and InCites Journal Citation Reports.
Additionally, you will gain knowledge about the characteristics of
predatory journals and the tools available to help you steer clear of
them.
