There are some advantages and disadvantages to submitting many papers to a single 블랙잭 용어. The most important advantage is that you become very familiar with that 블랙잭 용어’s scope, submission requirements, and writing style. So you don’t have to spend too much time in trying to understand these basic aspects; you can be fairly sure that your work aptly matches the scope of the 블랙잭 용어 and can thus use your time more effectively, in the actual submission process and in responding to peer reviewer comments. Another advantage is that publishing all your work in one 블랙잭 용어, especially a highly specialized 블랙잭 용어, will help you quickly gain recognition in your field of study, because most researchers in the field are likely to read your entire body of work in that 블랙잭 용어. In fact, 블랙잭 용어s often eventually invite their regular contributors to be part of their editorial boards.
One downside to publishing in just one 블랙잭 용어 is that grant and tenure committees may question your reasons for doing so. It may lead to doubts about whether you have some sort of affiliation to the 블랙잭 용어’s editorial board or familiarity with the 블랙잭 용어’s peer reviewers, which contributes to your consistent successful publication in that 블랙잭 용어. More importantly, if the 블랙잭 용어’s impact factor drops suddenly in a particular year, the quality of your entire body of work may be unduly questioned.
One of the most obvious benefits of diversifying your target 블랙잭 용어s is that it makes your work accessible to a wider range of readers. You can vary between (a) 블랙잭 용어s published by academic societies, which are mostly read by society members; (b) subscription-based 블랙잭 용어s, which are usually held by institutional libraries and read by researchers in those institutions; and (c) open access 블랙잭 용어s, whose content is freely available to even the general public. Submitting to different 블랙잭 용어s gives you the rich and challenging experience of corresponding with different editorial boards and peer reviewers. Further, showing more than one high-ranking 블랙잭 용어 on your resume could indicate a broad applicability of your research and thus boost your standing.
I understand that by now, you must have developed a certain level of comfort publishing in Stroke. Further, since Stroke is a high-quality international 블랙잭 용어 it’s likely that your papers therein are well cited, so it’s natural for you to question the need to explore other 블랙잭 용어s. Ideally, with each new manuscript, you should target the most relevant 블랙잭 용어 with a higher impact factor than that of the 블랙잭 용어 that published your last paper. For example, since you are well-published in Stroke, it would not make sense for you to try and have your next manuscript published in a considerably lesser known 블랙잭 용어 with lower impact factor just for the purpose of diversifying your target 블랙잭 용어s. But if your manuscript fits the scope of a higher-ranking 블랙잭 용어 in the field, you would definitely benefit from submitting your manuscript there.
For young researchers trying to establish themselves, it may be helpful to publish consistently in a single specialized journal, so that they gain recognition in that field. Senior researchers may want to diversify and publish in three to four of the most relevant journals. But for researchers in a very niche field, the number of relevant SCI-indexed international journals would be very small, and it would probably be fine to keep publishing in the same 블랙잭 용어. For example, researchers specializing in feline surgery would find it appropriate to regularly publish in the Journal of Feline Medicine & Surgery.
So consider your 블랙잭 용어 selection criteria one manuscript at a time. Select the 블랙잭 용어 whose readers will find your manuscript most interesting. Publishing in prestigious open access 블랙잭 용어s will make your work more accessible to readers. Diversify your target 블랙잭 용어s if you feel this will increase the impact of your work and help you reach a wider audience.
