Criteria for Evaluating Sarcoma Journals

How do you select the sarcoma journal that’s right for your research?

The process can be long and stressful, with lots to coordinate. You might have deadlines around major conferences, commercial pressures…and of course, the worry that if you choose the wrong journal, you’ll damage both your own credibility and that of your organisation.

We’ve helped 1000s of researchers, academics and publications managers find the perfect journal for their research. These are the criteria we use to evaluate them.

Impact Factor and Citation Metrics

Impact factor and related citation metrics are commonly used benchmarks for assessing sarcoma journals. They help quantify a publication’s influence within the academic community, and most researchers are keen to get published in a journal with as high an impact factor as possible.

But how useful is impact factor, really?

Tracking sarcoma journals’ impact factor can offer you a quick snapshot of how widely read – and therefore impactful – a clinical sarcoma research journal may be. But for rare cancers like sarcoma, even the top sarcoma journals may not have the same citation volume as broader oncology publications. This doesn’t mean they lack influence.

Always remember that metrics should be interpreted carefully. You should consider journal scope, editorial board expertise, and peer review rigour alongside impact metrics.

These elements can be just as critical to ensuring a journal’s overall quality as numerical indicators like citation counts.

When we support our clients with journal selection and submission, we’ll take account of all these factors.

Editorial Standards and Peer Review Process

The editorial standards and peer review process of a journal often determine the reliability and credibility of its articles. Leading journals, such as The Sarcoma Journal or other medical sarcoma journals, typically employ thorough vetting systems where experts in the field evaluate submissions for methodological soundness, clarity of argument, and novelty.

Whether you are preparing a sarcoma journal submission or simply looking to expand your understanding of the field, prioritising publications with robust peer review frameworks will help ensure you’re engaging with trustworthy and influential content.
