学术界大约30,000多种活跃的科学期刊， 每种期刊都有自己特定的投稿要求，因此学者对投稿期刊的选择往往存在困难。

正值论文发表季，国际科学编辑ISE分享一些选择投稿期刊的技巧，以作参考。

With an estimated 30,000 active scientific journals, each with their own specific requirements, it can be difficult to know where to send your article. Here, we present a short video blog with some tips on choosing the right journal.

In summary:

总而言之:

1. 首先查看你的参考文献

Look at your reference list

确定以下期刊的名称:

·对你的研究对象有决定性影响的文章

·你的手稿研究方法所依据的文章

·证实或反驳你的发现的文章

Identify the journal titles of :

· articles that were fundamental in forming your research question

· articles on which your methodology is based

· articles that corroborate or contradict your findings

2.在数据库中搜索相似的论文

(例如使用Google Scholar，PubMed，Web of Science 等数据库)

Search for similar articles in indexing databases

(e.g., Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, etc.)

·使用"高级搜索"功能搜索相关的关键词、短语，甚至是完整的文章标题。

·搜寻过去五年内发表的相关文章。

·制作一个相关期刊标题的列表 (例如，你的搜索结果中是否多次出现某期刊的标题？）

· Use the “advanced search” feature to search for relevant keywords, short phrases, or even the full article title.

· Search for articles published within the past 5 years.

· Make a list of relevant journal titles (e.g., do any journal titles appear multiple times in your search?).

3.调查每种期刊的名称，并根据个人(或出资人)的要求缩小你的参考清单

Investigate each journal title and narrow your list down according to personal (or funder) requirements

·你的文章是否符合期刊的宗旨和范围？

·什么样类型的文章投稿会被接受？

·这些期刊支持开放获取吗? 收费如何？

·期刊有评价指标吗？（IF、CiteScore、SNIP、SJR）分别是多少？

· Is your article in line with the aims and scope of the journal?

· What article types are accepted?

· Does the journal support open access and what are the fees?

· What are the journal's impact metrics?

4. 掠夺性期刊

Predatory journals

随着掠夺性期刊的兴起（参见微信回顾：不要成为“掠夺性期刊”的牺牲品！），作者们在选择期刊时必须谨慎行事。

With the rise of predatory journals (see our "Don't fall prey to "predatory" journals" post), authors must now use caution when choosing a journal.

·该期刊是出版伦理委员会（COPE）的成员吗？

·该期刊的编委会有什么可疑之处吗？ 掠夺性期刊往往未经学者同意就擅自将其列入编委会队伍（名不副实的同行评议），且每期都会发表大量论文，并收取高额“版面费”。

因此，你可以通过在不同的来源(例如，编辑的个人网站)之间进行交叉引用来检查。例如：通常网络在线检索该专家的简历，查验专家是否将自己列为该期刊的编委。

· Is the journal a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)?

· Is there anything suspicious about the journal's editorial board? Predatory journals often fraudulently list academics without their consent. You can check for this by cross-referencing information among different sources (e.g., the editor's personal website).
