These journals specialize in the publication of clinical research. These journals are considered to be mid-tier publications. While they may not have the highest of impact factors or are less well known, that does not mean that they are any less respected when compared to their high-tier counterparts. Alongside the suggestions featured on this box's first tab, be sure to consider the size of the journal's readership, the authors that have been previously published, how specialized the journal is, and the reputation of its editorial board.
