Assessing Journal Choices for Ultrasound Manuscripts

When selecting journals to submit ultrasound manuscripts, it is crucial to distinguish legitimate journals from predatory ones. Predatory journals often solicit articles with requests for payment and may hold manuscripts hostage for further fees. To ensure legitimacy, consult colleagues and verify the journal's credibility. Be cautious of names resembling established journals. It is rare for reputable journals to solicit articles targeting individuals directly, highlighting the importance of due diligence in choosing where to publish.
