Abstract
The most widely accepted criterion for journal quality is its Impact Factor (IF); the higher the value the better the rating. Nowadays all journals require that the manuscripts be uploaded online following the menu-driven instructions. All journals follow the “blind” peer-review procedure for getting an objective assessment of the scientific quality of the paper. Points on which the authors disagree with the reviewers and the reasons for that should be brought to the editor’s attention. Once the manuscript is accepted for publication, the author will have a chance to do the final scrutiny of the pre-publication proof. If an article is not accepted by a journal but has not been detected to have any “fatal” flaws such as faulty experimental procedures, the authors may pursue the option for publishing it in another journal.
