Choosing the right journal is one of the most important decisions a researcher will make about their study. This section first focuses on how to choose the most appropriate journal for the manuscript using an evidence-based approach on several key factors. We then discuss various strategies authors can consider when submitting to journals, along with backup and alternative strategies such as using preprint servers. Finally, we highlight what journal editors are looking for in submissions and how to best communicate the suitability and relevance of the study to the editor in a cover letter.
