Find the right journal for your paper

Evidence-based journal suggestions for your manuscript: we look at where similar publications actually appeared, not at keyword lists.

1. Enter your paper's title (an abstract improves the match). For Turkish-language titles, journals published in Türkiye are pulled into the pool as well.
2. Use the DECISION BAR at the top of the results in the order academics actually decide: indexing first (SCI-E/SSCI/AHCI · all WoS incl. ESCI · Scopus · TR Dizin · UBYT), then “minimum quartile” and the quartile source (Scopus CiteScore / WoS JCR), then access and APC.
3. Read each suggestion with its justification: “published N papers like yours in the last 3 years” is evidence; a “Scope match” badge means NO similar publication was found there and the journal was suggested only because its subject profile is close — a weaker signal.
4. If the filters empty the list, look at “Journals closest to your filters”: each one is listed with the condition that excluded it (quartile / indexing / access / APC / risk).
5. Check the money: journals badged “may be covered by a TÜBİTAK agreement” can let you publish open access without paying an APC, and Diamond journals charge nothing at all.
6. Compare the process: the “~N weeks” badge and the “shortest process” sort show submission-to-publication time.
7. Run “Check a journal” on your shortlist before submitting; you can export the list as CSV to share with your supervisor.
