Choosing the wrong journal is the most common reason good papers are rejected without review, and the most expensive mistake is choosing a journal that is no longer indexed, or a fake copy of a real one. Our journal selection service removes that risk.

What you get

  • Three to five journals that match your paper's subject, method and contribution
  • Current indexing status, checked on the day, with links to Scopus Sources, the Web of Science Master Journal List, ABDC, PubMed or Embase as relevant
  • Scope and aims of each journal, in plain words
  • Typical review time, acceptance information where the journal publishes it, and the article processing charge, if any
  • Warnings about cloned or hijacked websites, with the journal's genuine address

What we check

  • That the journal is listed today, not only in the past: databases drop titles regularly
  • That the ISSN, publisher and website match the database record
  • That recent issues are published on schedule and articles are peer reviewed
  • That your university's or employer's requirement is actually met

What we need from you

Your title and abstract (or the full manuscript), your field, your deadline, your budget and the indexing your institution asks for. Everything you share stays confidential.

Questions and answers.

Do you guarantee acceptance in a Scopus or Web of Science journal?

No, and nobody honestly can. Every reputable journal decides through its own editors and peer reviewers. What we do is improve your chances: we choose journals whose scope and standards genuinely fit your paper, prepare the manuscript to their guidelines, and help you respond well to reviewers.

Be careful with anyone who promises guaranteed publication in an indexed journal. It is the most common sign of a predatory or fake journal service.

How long does publication take?

It depends on the journal. Peer review alone can take from a few weeks to several months, and revisions add time. When we shortlist journals for you, we give the typical review time for each, so you can choose one that fits your deadline.

If you have a firm deadline, such as a thesis submission or a promotion, tell us at the first consultation. If it is not realistic, we will say so.

How can I check that a journal is really indexed?

Search for the journal by its ISSN in Scopus Sources (for Scopus) or Clarivate's Master Journal List (for Web of Science). Check that the ISSN and publisher match and that coverage continues to the current year. Reach the journal's website through the link in that record, not through an email.

We share these links for every journal we recommend. Our guide How to check whether a journal is really indexed in Scopus explains each step.

Will you write my paper or thesis for me?

We guide, review and edit; the research, the ideas and the authorship stay yours. Our experts help you plan the structure, choose and justify the methodology, analyse your data, improve the language and format the work to your university's or journal's rules.

We do not submit work in your name that you did not do, sell authorship, or help anyone get around plagiarism rules. That protects your degree and your reputation.
