3. Evaluate the quality of periodicals: It is very important to evaluate the quality and reputation of periodicals. You can refer to the journal's impact factors, citation times, editorial board members' background and other indicators. In addition, you can also check the peer review process of journals and the transparency of editorial departments.
4. Read the journal submission guide: read the journal submission guide carefully to understand its requirements and format requirements for review articles. Make sure your comments meet the requirements of the journal to improve the chances of being accepted.
5. Consider target readers: Consider who your target readers are and which journals they may be interested in. Choosing journals related to your target readers can improve your chances of being read and cited.
6. Seek advice from your mentor or peers: If you have a mentor or peer with rich experience in the medical field, you can ask them for advice on choosing a journal. They may provide valuable advice and guidance.
