When finding a journal to submit your manuscript, you must carefully consider the journal's scope. "Out of scope" is one of the most common reasons for manuscript rejection. Each journal's web page will have a statement of scope, as well as guidance for what research topics and methodologies the journal will accept. To get a starting list of journals to consider, check your references list. If journals from that list are cited frequently, it may be a good fit for your research as well.
