*Arrange according to journal impact factor (Source: 2021 Journal Impact Factor, JIF)

Journals may belong to more than one category. One such journal is Systematic and Applied Microbiology, published by Elsevier GMBH, which is grouped into two categories. As of this writing, the IF stands at 4.064. This journal is rated Q1 in the category of Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology (rank no. 38/167 using JCI index), and Q2 in the category of JCI Microbiology (rank no. 46/157). This journal is Q2 according to SCIE (66/158 Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology; 66/136 Microbiology).

As a general rule, the more citations a journal receives, the higher its impact factor score will be. Citations are influenced by a variety of factors. One important factor is the quality of the work. Poorly written descriptions may cause readers to doubt the credibility of the published work. Whenever a better alternative is available, we tend to cite a reputable journal or credible scholar.

Citations are affected by publicity or the number of readers. An academic journal that is run and maintained by a faculty of a particular institution may have a smaller audience than journals published by large international professional bodies, for example, ISME. Often, the Q1 journals are the leading locomotive that guides the direction of relevant research topics. A Q1 is an impressive journal not only because of its quantitative data but also because of its quality science and knowledge. Therefore, Q1 journals are pole settlers. We should read more Q1 papers.

Below is a list of the top ten publishers with the most citations; this information was taken from on a presentation slide presented by the chief editor of a journal where I served as an associate editor. The ranking of the articles is based on the average number of citations in 2020 to articles published in 2017–2019. I suggest you exercise due diligence since the ranking is not solely taken into consideration when deciding whether or not to submit your precious manuscript. American Chemical Society (ACS)
