A variety of factors that influence the authors' choices of the right journal for submission of a manuscript have emerged in the past few years. A prime concern for authors is whether the publication options offer good chances for citations, which are crucially important for academic competitiveness. It has become a common practice to initially target high-impact journals and, in case of rejections, embark on lower rank journals. What may suffer as a consequence of the global competition is quality, thereby demanding a more comprehensive approach to the avenue of publication and its promotion.
