Knowing about journals requirements

Knowledge generation strategy Knowledge dissemination To prioritize what is important for you Impact factor? Publication process? Cost? Open access? Matrix of existing publications! Gaps? Additions: Present your paper in a conference before you try to submit it to a journal. You can get first round of peer review. Sometimes, having some publications is more important than becoming stacked in perfectionism and forever chasing a publication in one of the most prestigious journals; it is essential to gradually build up a publication record. For example, the European Journal of Counselling Psychology (EJCoP) is not indexed, yet, in some of the indexing systems (although it is indexed in EBSCO A-Z, Google Scholar, etc.) but it has different advantages. One of the advantages, is that you manage to publish because they receive less of an overwhelming number of submissions. If you have never published, it would be great to start with the European Journal of Counselling Psychology, as opposed to Europe's Journal of Psychology because of the advantage stated above. One needs to consider: who do you want to reach? It is good for the journal to have an impact factor but one also needs to consider what is the best way to reach their audience. Readability test: Similar to the readability guidelines of the BPS, EJCoP's standards of readability are that manuscripts should score no less than 30 on the Flesch scale. This readability scale can be found in the following link: https://readability-score.com/. Read the focus and the scope of the journal. In the case of EJCoP, it makes clear that they are flexible about methods (accepting quantitative and qualitative methodology, including: ethnographic, autobiographical and single patient or organisational case studies, in an aim to bridge the academic and applied counselling psychology) but the authors need to make a connection with counselling psychology and ensure that their paper is relevant to a broader European readership. Because EJCoP is funded by an European grant, the journal wishes to make some connections to Europe; authors are expected to make some reference to European contexts and include some European references. This could be done in the discussion section, when they compare settings, make recommendations for further research, etc. Correct English is an important area but an advantage, again for authors submitting to journals like EJCoP, is that the editorial assistants will highlight everything that is not correct in terms of the English (this includes grammar and language). This is done twice for free, providing the author with a chance to make the relevant changes to their paper.

Build a relationship with the journal as soon as possible. One of the ways of doing this is if already you have your PhD, apply to become a reviewer. In EJCoP, this is done by registering with the journal as an user (http://ejcop.psychopen.eu/user/register). The editorial team will then upgrade your status to that of reviewer. Most journals have standard templates and papers can easily get to a bad start and get off track, if authors do not adhere to them. Author are required to adhere to EJCoP's own formatting template (http://ejcop.psychopen.eu/about/submissions#onlineSubmissions – submission template), as well as following the APA style guidelines.
