Why use high impact journals?
1.
Scholars seeking publishing opportunities have to decide
which journals are most likely to enhance the visibility and
impact of their research. Although the premier journals of a
discipline are usually well established, there is generally less
consensus about the other journals.
2. Promotion/ tenure decisions in research-oriented

• If the acceptance rate of the top-ranking
jounals is 15%, one needs about 7 papers
under review at all times to have one paper
accepted per year at the targeted journals.
• If your goal is to get 10 papers accepted in
the first 5 years of your career, you need
about a dozen papers under review at all
times.
• Half a dozen papers should be under review
at all times for untenured authors. This
