If you want a better insight into how impactful journals actually are when making a decision about where to submit your research, then start thinking beyond a journal’s quoted Impact Factor. This comes as no surprise to me, having been involved with scholarly publishing for more years than I care to admit, but it may be less obvious to young researchers trying to climb the greasy pole of academic recognition.
Charlie Rapple’s insightful post in ‘The Scholarly Kitchen’ examines the relationship between journal, academic, and research impact, and how attitudes are changing about how they are regarded (https://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2023/04/11/how-related-are-journal-impact-and-research-impact/)
If all this still leaves you wondering which way to turn, then look no further than Yours Truly to research and recommend the right journal for your publication 😊
