Acceptance and publication of a research paper in a reputed journal is the dream of every researcher. Since the publication is the end product of years of research, every author wants their paper published in an indexed journal. Journals indexed in reputed indexing, including PubMed, Scopus, UGC Care, or Embase, usually received hundreds of papers for every issue but could publish only a limited number of quality papers. Reputed publishing agencies, including Springer, Nature, Oxford, BioMed, Frontier, Talor and Francis, Willey, Elsevier, and Medknow, have a high rejection rate, which for some journals goes up to 90%, which means 90% of the papers submitted to that journal are rejected before or after peer review.
