Research
and publishing can be a daunting task,
but with the right knowledge needed, one can make a lot of impact. As a
researcher, it is advisable to choose a target journal before you commence on
your research. One might ask: 'what is a target journal'? A target journal is a
journal you wish to send your paper for publication. That is, the paper you
just commenced writing. This means that before you start writing, you should
have in mind, the journal you wish to publish that paper in. Once you have got
that, you then read the author guidelines of that journal to enable you tailor
your write up (content and style) to the specifications of the journal. A lot
of authors' papers have been rejected due to lack of adherence to the author
guideline of given journals. A journal needs you to format your references
using MLA or CSE style of referencing, but because you are already used to APA,
you end up applying it instead, forgetting it affects the in-text citation.
Well, let's not go deep into this. We have recommended a video to you, to
enable you know how to choose the right journal for your research.
