The quality of a journal is an important issue, which is highly affected by the budget allocated for the journal. Generally, it is expected that each volume of the journal has a higher quality than the previously published volume. Although having sufficient financial resource is of utmost importance, it is not the only condition for the high quality of a journal. In fact, what counts for the quality of a journal is the right management of an allocated budget.
The financial policy of the journal should be logically in line with the mission of the journal. This means that journal managers should know that a high-quality quarterly journal is preferred to a low-quality monthly journal. Another important issue in this regard is that the quality should not be sacrificed for the publication due.
The quality of a journal is determined based on the quality of its articles. As a result, the factors affecting the journal quality include detailed editing, scientific paper design, on-time schedule of publication, and meticulous supervision. In case the accepted article is of low-quality, it is a waste of time to pay precise attention to the illustration and design of the article. On the other hand, when the content of an article qualifies for publication but it is not well-written, a process editor is expected to spend a great deal of time on the editing process of the article. It should also be noted that some authors are non-native speakers of the target language of a journal. Consequently, the acceptance of an article should be based on the content quality of an article, not its literary quality.
Another issue of concern is overemphasizing on the quality of a journal. In case the journal has insufficient financial resources, the journal authorities should pay concerted attention to the timely publication of the journal as well as the fine-tuned artworks. These features could attract the attention of researchers and pave the way for publishing quality manuscripts and indexing the journal in leading indexing databases.
