Scope Matching
Find the Right Journal for Your Manuscript
Use evidence from scope, audience, article type and recent publications to make a responsible journal selection.
Before choosing a journal
- Write the research question, method and main contribution in two sentences.
- Identify the readers who would most benefit from the findings.
- Compare the journal scope with recent articles, not only the title.
- Confirm the journal accepts the manuscript type and study design.
- Review fees, licence, peer-review process and indexing status carefully.
Need help? Send the title, abstract, article type and subject area through the service request form. A scope recommendation is guidance, not a promise of review or acceptance.
