Guidance for authors

Before you submit: what actually moves the needle

Step 1

Match scope before you fall in love with a journal

The single biggest cause of desk rejection is scope mismatch. We check your manuscript's scope against a journal's actual published output, not just its stated aims.

Step 2

Weigh impact factor against realistic acceptance odds

A higher-impact journal isn't always the right first choice. Your shortlist ranks options by a blend of prestige and real acceptance-rate data for your subfield.

Step 3

Fix formatting issues before, not after, submission

Reference style, figure resolution and word-count limits are the most common reasons editors send papers back without full review. We check every guideline before you submit.

Step 4

Plan your response-letter strategy early

Most accepted papers go through at least one revision round. We help you draft a response strategy before reviews come back, not after the deadline clock starts.

How we build your shortlist

The four criteria behind every journal recommendation

1

Scope & topical fit

Matched against a journal's actual recent publications, not just its aims & scope page.

2

Impact & visibility

Impact factor and indexing status weighed against your career or grant goals.

3

Realistic acceptance odds

Historical acceptance-rate data for papers like yours, not a journal's overall average.

4

Review-to-decision timeline

Typical time to first decision, so you can plan around grant or graduation deadlines.
