Publishing in a high impact factor journal is important for your career and helps you secure more funding for your research. We use our knowledge to generate a short-list of journals (usually 3 to 5) that we believe will be most appropriate and most likely to consider your work. We also give an assessment of the benefits and risks of submitting to each journal to enable you to make the most appropriate decision of your target journal. Edanz Writing can recommend a journal to meet your publication needs. We consider the following when identifying potential target journals:

• Recent publication history
  
• Scope of your study
• Type of study (e.g., clinical study, case study, laboratory study)
• Type of manuscript (e.g., short communication, full article, review article, letter to the editor)
• Do you need to publish in a journal with an Impact Factor/indexed in Medline/Embase, etc.?

The writing and editing team will ensure not only that your language is clear, concise and has a native-English style, but also that the style and formatting of the manuscript adhere strictly to the journal style and Guide to Authors. This step will increase chances of acceptance for publication. As part of this service, one of our quality control copy editors will review the manuscript for typos, language issues and expression.

This is an important step in journal submission, writing a good cover lever significantly increases chances for publication. Manuscripts can be rejected or accepted based just on the quality and clarity of the cover letter. Details such as addressing the letter to the correct journal editor can make a difference in rejection or acceptance.

If required, we can work with the author to handle the submission process and monitoring of the manuscript throughout the entire peer review and publication process.
