  • Inquiring Of Your Acquaintances & Colleagues

    • This includes –
      • people who have already carried out research and have had their papers or articles published in leading Scopus indexed journals, 
      • people who are likely to have connections and associations within the 2023 Scopus publication community,

      • people who read a lot of scientific journals and material, who might be aware of at least one or two Scopus indexed journals within your area of specialization. 
    • Another key benefit of asking one’s acquaintances and colleagues is that they are more likely to get trustworthy answers even if the answer is no. 
    • This is because there is a level of mutual trust between people who know each other well and interact often on a professional basis. 
    • When placing such inquiries with colleagues and acquaintances, however, it is crucial to make sure that – 
      • you know for a fact that they are trustworthy and that they will not misguide you, 
      • you know for a fact that they are likely to have such information (so as to not pester someone who is undoubtedly not likely to have any knowledge of Scopus indexed journals in your area of specialization and disturbing them), and 
      • you tell them your intention beforehand (which is that you would like to get your research published in a leading Scopus indexed publication 2023 within your specific field).
  • Contact Your University or Institutional Department
    • Whether you are someone who is undertaking your research at a university, a research institution or a corporate organization, you are bound to be associated with a department that relays information back and forth between the administrations or executives of the institution/company.
    • Getting in touch with these people and letting them know that you are seriously considering having your research published in the form of a paper, review or article in a leading Scopus indexed publication within your field, might open the door to a world of information. 
    • Some of the possibilities include – 
      • getting a list of 2022 Scopus indexed journals within your field to get in touch with,

      • officials increasing the funding to your research project so that you may refine your work and have substantial and conclusive research findings before actually proceeding to publish your work in a Scopus indexed journal. 
    • University departments are always in touch with prominent Scopus indexed publications as they very often have subscriptions to such journals.
    • These subscriptions serve in adding the latest issues of these journals (containing the most groundbreaking research projects and ventures being carried out around the globe), for the edification of all those in the department. 
    • If this is the case, then you can also approach your department’s librarian for information on the best Scopus indexed journals within your specialization. 
  • Inquire Of Known Authors
    • As an academic or a researcher carrying out experimental studies and scientific research projects, you are bound to come into contact with professionals who have already had their research published in the past. 
    • All you have to do is ask these individuals if they can point you towards any Scopus indexed journals that they are aware of or have published their work in previously. 
    • Such authors will be more than willing to not only give you information about the top Scopus indexed journals within your field but also – 
      • put you in touch with the officials at any of these publications so that you have a point of reference (which is an experienced author who has already had his/her work published in their journals).

      • offer you some advice on how to go about pursuing your entire publication process, the best way to write your research paper, and how to make it highly engaging, etc. 
    • People with experience are not only the best to seek out for information and normal details on the top Scopus indexed journals within your field, but also guidance and suggestions on how you should go about the entire paper publication process.

This is because Scopus indexed journals, typically tend to – 

  • be more trustworthy, 
  • of higher quality, 
  • with higher standards and scope, 
  • have a bigger global reader base (meaning you will be able to reach more people by having a paper published in such a journal than any other), 
  • have quicker, simple and less arduous, but also thorough paper submission in Scopus processes, manuscript reviewing and publication processes in place, 
  • have more respect for authors as well as form better and more fruitful professional relationships with them, 
  • value the work and effort of researchers more than other journals who overlook these efforts, 
  • recognize the true potential of researchers and appreciate their contributions to the field and more.
