General note
Select the target journal right at the beginning, before starting to write the manuscript. So that the manuscript can be written in line with the selected journal requirement.

- Visit the journal's webpage and identify the kind of manuscripts they are interested in publishing.
- Make a list of journals that are a close match
- Find out the impact factor for each and then go for the one with the highest impact first
