I thought I selected the right journal for one of the papers I submitted recently, but I guess I did not. I am still learning about the best journal for a paper, especially one of my interdisciplinary papers. The editor of the journal recommended another more specialized journal for the paper. He wrote:
“Indeed, while the topic of this study is of potential interest, its overall contribution to the field appears too limited for the broad readership of the journal. Therefore, this manuscript would be better suited for a more specialized journal.“
I have never heard of the journal he recommended, but it does seem to be a better fit. It accepts APA 7th edition so no reference changes are needed (reference list changes as well as changes to in-text citations).
