The Directory helps you to determine which journals typically publish manuscripts similar to yours
or could be the best fit for your manuscript. The index in each Directory helps you match the characteristics of your
manuscript to the topic areas the journal emphasizes and acceptance rate.
The Directory also includes information on the style and format of most journals to further assist you in organizing
and preparing your manuscripts. If a journal has its own set of manuscript guidelines, a link to these guidelines is
provided in the Directory. Additionally, each entry indicates the use of a standard set of publication guidelines by a journal.
For example, some journals use the Chicago Manual of Style or the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
Furthermore, the Directory describes the type of review process used by the editor(s) of a journal, type of review,
number of reviewers, acceptance rate, time required for review, availability of reviewers' comments, number of copies
required and manuscript topics. Information on the journals printed and electronic launch dates and ISSNs are also provided.
Ultimately, Cabell's Directories of Publishing Opportunities is an excellent resource to use because it eliminates
a lot of legwork as you prepare to publish your manuscript.
