choosing appropriate journal for my manuscript
« on: October 17, 2013, 10:00:43 AM »
hi guys
I have written a manuscript about classic passerini reaction and it just have four 1HNMR for characterization of produced products. I know I should submit the manuscript to a journal with IF≤2.
which journal do you suggest and why?
thanks for your help

What novelty does your paper bring to the table? With just 4 proton NMRs (for final products, or intermediates as well?) I am really struggling to suggest places. Do you *need* to publish?

Is the direction of the inequality sign real or a typo.

IF2.
make your personal webpage , your blog , whatsoever "the journal of your choice" and publish it there  ;D
also, J.Irr and J.Ill come to mind *)

else, take your pick:

... and with some 4 NMR's in your "news" be prepared for frustration

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Maybe one of the new open access journals whose policy is not to be selective only basic vetting.

my work is classified as a green methodology, and all the products are known compounds, I have to publish a paper to graduate from university, I know it is better to forget about publishing with only 4 nmr but the university policy makes me to publish a paper, on the other hand our university is not rich enough to assemble all we need

No wonder we have to wade through so much crap when  we do a lit. search!

@Corribus where are you! :)

This is in the context of our debate about how selective publication standards ought to be.

If you have to publish a paper then select an appropriate topic and write a review on it.

This is a lot of reading for the author but requires no lab work.

Alternatively find a crystaline organic compound and get X-RAY data from a friendly Uni. You can publish this in Acta. Cryst. E (open access). Which has an Impact Factor of 0.25 last time I checked.

that is good idea, i was thinking about that before but I prefer to write a mini review (cause I don't have enough experience in writing a review) but I am not sure that all the journals accept mini review, I would be grateful if anyone knows the journals which consider mini review in green chemistry field.

Yes, they will publish everything:

some guy's replys seems they think I want to report an untrue work, I emphasize that it's not true, it's a green methodology with known compounds as product which are characterized with TLC, m.p and just 4 1hnmr. OK I think that this work is not a top work, I hope someday be able to work like you guys. but I don't think that insulting each other without enough knowledge about the original work and conditions is correct manner.

About what? About what I meant? No, please read the paper I linked to.

yeah.... makes it kinda difficult to publish something there with meager or debateable content , right

except when you're in climate modelling, that is
