General considations
There are several professional services geared toward helping authors select a target journal. Uni-edit offers such a service.
Modern professional services are increasingly becoming less service-oriented and more digital toolkits, providing more comprehensive, efficient, and autonomous ways to help you make decisions. Online toolkits such as Elsevier’s CiteScore (https://www.elsevier.com/authors-update/story/impact-metrics/citescore-a-new-metric-to-help-you-choose-the-right-journal) offers a professional, collaborative initiative built on journal publishing data that helps authors make more objective decisions when targeting a journal. Instead of relying on Impact Factors to rank journals, CiteScore uses more comprehensive journal metrics, such as document type, a more realistic scoring system for ranking journals, and general metrics across different fields. Authors can use the CiteScore system here: https://journalmetrics.scopus.com/.
