[edit] 2 Publisher information sources

[edit] 2.1 Article Publisher Resources

• Cabell`s Directories
  • Each directory helps you select those journals that are most likely to publish your manuscript. The index in each Directory helps you match the characteristics of your manuscript to the topic areas the journal emphasizes, the type of review process, acceptance rate and number of external reviewers.
  • Each Directory includes extensive information on the style and format of most journals to assist you in organizing and preparing your manuscripts. If a journal has its own set of manuscript guidelines, a copy of these guidelines is published in the Directory. Also, each entry indicates the use of a standard set of publication guidelines by a journal.
  • Each Directory describes the type of review process used by the editor(s) of a journal, number of reviewers, acceptance rate, time required for review, availability of reviewers` comments, fees charged to review or publish the manuscript, copies required and manuscript topics.
