Journals and the congresses are the formal information channels that form the basis for scientific communications. Editors of scientific journals have responsibilities toward their journals, authors and readers. They are responsible for monitoring the peer-review editorial process so as to ensure the fairly, timely, and thoroughly realization of counselling procedures. The journals have their own manuscript selection, and publication criteria. The peer-review system plays an important role in ensuring the integrity of the scholarly record. Clear communication between the journal and the reviewers carries importance. Editors mediate all interactions between reviewers and authors so as to facilitate consistent, fair and timely review. Reviewers are selected by the editors and they are responsible for the fair and scientific evaluation of the manuscripts in time. The process of selecting a suitable journal for publication should be taken seriously because the identification and avoidance of predatory journals and conferences is an important issue. Unfortunately, currently, researchers receive little education or support about navigating journal selection and submission processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
