Where should I publish

Journal Citation Reports
Tool for comparing and evaluating citation data from journals in the sciences and social sciences.

FREE ACCESS: Journal Ranking Search - Eigenfactor: The Eigenfactor Metrics
The Eigenfactor Score calculation is based on the number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in the JCR year, but it also considers which journals have contributed these citations so that highly cited journals will influence the network more than lesser cited journals. References from one article in a journal to another article from the same journal are removed, so that Eigenfactor Scores are not influenced by journal self-citation.

REMINDERS

There are multiple journal publishers who decide on their own citing format to use in their publications
Journal publishers provide their own peer review procedures, image usage and writing instructions
Before using images in your papers double check if the image creator has provided permission to use the image.
Professional Associations influence which citing format to use e,.g. ACS, IEEE,
