It takes a lot of time and effort to have a research article published in a journal. There are various steps the author must take before submitting to a journal. After submitting, the author has no say in what the publisher does next. An author's knowledge of the publishing process is crucial to achieving timely and profitable publication.
The first step is, of course, writing the first draft. The first step is to have a well proofread and edited research paper with accurate citations, a clear and concise abstract, and a comprehensive cover letter.
 

The first step in getting a research article published in a journal is an editorial screening. In order to avoid a first-round rejection, writers should check that their research article is relevant to the scope and goals of the chosen magazine. The most reliable method is to stick closely to the journal's guidelines. After passing a first round of editing, a research article will be distributed for peer review.
 

Review by peers is notoriously slow. It is common practice to choose two or more reviewers, at least one of whom may come from the pool of experts the authors proposed. Peer reviewers are experts in their disciplines, but they are also busy with other commitments, so it might take some time for them to respond. Reconsideration after minor/major adjustments is the normal approach, while rapid acceptance without changes or immediate rejection without reconsideration is recommended by reviewers.
 

Editorial discretion rests with the editor, who may provide authors with feedback gleaned from the editorial board or peer review before making a final decision. If the author disagrees with the editor's advice, they must provide a corrected manuscript and a note detailing the modifications made and the academic or scientific justifications for rejecting those proposals.
The editor may make a unilateral decision or re-distribute the revised research article for a second round of peer review, depending on the extent of the revisions. Although these steps add time to the publishing process, they are essential in ensuring that the final product is of the highest quality.
 

After the editor approves the manuscript, it moves into production, where it undergoes one more round of editing and formatting to meet the journal's standards. The journal may request a final proofread from the author before publishing the author's final text.
If a research article is rejected, the journal will explain their reasoning. The writer may then decide whether to submit the revised or revised and resubmitted manuscript to the journal.

In the realm of academic publishing, there are four main categories:

Today's academic, research, and student communities have their pick of a wide variety of specialized periodicals. Academic journals, professional journals, popular science magazines, and newspapers are all examples of the most common forms of periodicals. Faculty, students, and researchers may usually find academic and scholarly periodicals in public libraries. These publications are also often found online, with either free public access or paid membership options aimed at students, researchers, and academic institutions. Public bookstalls and supermarkets are better places to find other general periodicals, scientific and trade journals, and newspapers. These publications outnumber scholarly journals because of their broader appeal and comprehensive coverage of current events and topics in sports, politics, business, and entertainment.  

Journals in the academic and scientific communities are periodic publications aimed towards scholars, students, and professionals in the relevant fields. The primary goal of these publications is to communicate the results of new studies and reports. Before every article is published in one of these scholarly periodicals, it undergoes a rigorous peer review procedure to ensure its overall quality and authenticate the research it presents. Academic articles are written in a different manner from those published in mainstream media. In addition to making sure their papers are formatted correctly, researchers should also adhere to the standard article structure, which includes an abstract and a list of references. Scholars eagerly anticipate and read research publications like these because they often publish groundbreaking studies, new theories, and other contributions to the body of knowledge in a certain subject. Popular academic and scientific periodicals include Nature, the American Sociological Review, and the British Journal of Social Work.  
When writers submit their work to a hybrid journal, they have the option of publishing their work as open access for a charge. Once the fee is processed, the article is made freely available to the public, while other articles in the same magazine remain behind paywalls and are only available to subscribers.

(ii) A more welcoming approach to publication is typical for mega journals. These scholarly publications welcome manuscripts from a wide range of fields, including the natural and social sciences, the humanities, and the arts. The technical and scientific validity of all contributions to megajournals is extensively vetted by peer reviews. However, researchers have a fantastic alternative for rapidly publishing their work and reaching a broader audience with these publications due to reduced article processing costs and quicker turnaround times than conventional journals1.

Unlike the other two categories of journals, contributions to overlay journals are selected from a variety of open access sites. They are not official publications in and of themselves, but rather serve as portals to the research of individual scholars by linking to articles in open access archives. The value of peer-reviewed journals lies in the fact that they are a reliable, low-cost, and dependable source of information. These journals provide global access to the most relevant papers across disciplines for students and scholars by selecting key research from leading publications.  

 

Business periodicals
Trade journals are periodicals that are published mainly for the benefit of the members of a certain company or profession. New developments, methods, or products in a certain field are the focus of such journals. Journal editors at commercial publications check for consistency in style and readability rather than relying on anonymous reviewers, in contrast to academic journals. Some common examples of trade magazines are Drug Times, Nursing Times, and Advertising Age.  

 

 Well-known science periodicals
Articles in these periodicals are written with a lay readership in mind, making complex topics accessible and entertaining. Topics often include recent advances in areas like green technology, climate change, and sustainable farming techniques, as well as fresh knowledge gleaned from preliminary study. These magazines are written for a diverse audience so that they may stay abreast of scientific breakthroughs in a broad range of disciplines. Magazines like National Geographic, Discover, and The Scientist are among the most widely read in their respective fields.

 

Daily News
Informing its readers of current events, these broadsheets are often released on a daily basis and cover a wide variety of themes, including politics, economics, science, culture, society, entertainment, and sports. Articles from well-known authorities in a variety of subjects include news, analysis, and opinions. The general population reads and uses newspapers more than any other kind of media because they are inexpensive and give a comprehensive overview of daily developments in a wide range of sectors. Popular newspapers include the Washington Post, New York Times, and The Telegraph.  
It doesn't matter what field a journal is in, they all serve an important purpose and make important contributions to the dissemination of knowledge.
