Introduction

If you decide to write for publication, you will need to choose a suitable journal to publish your work. However, selecting a journal is a tricky process (especially if this is your first-time publishing work) due to the abundance of journals and stiff competition. It is therefore important that you research your options very carefully.

This section aims to provide you with information on how to select a quality journal for publication and increase your chances of having your work accepted for publication.
