The document discusses the importance of selecting a peer-reviewed journal for publication that aligns with the research subject and audience. It outlines criteria for selecting journals, including visibility, impact factor, publication charges, and manuscript structure, using a case study on banana flour to illustrate these points. Careful journal selection can lead to increased citations and publication visibility.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Crucial to select a peer reviewed journal
 Presentation of research in the best way
 List of journals published will directly or indirectly affect
the career
 Shotgun : mass publication without journal quality
 Snipper : less publication n good reputed journals

3. Try to be a SNIPPER

4. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION
1. Is there a match between the subject of your article
and the journal's aim and scope?
Aims and Scope
International Journal of Food Engineering is devoted to engineering
disciplines related to processing foods. The areas of interest include
heat, mass transfer and fluid flow in food processing; food microstructure
development and characterization; application of artificial intelligence in
food engineering research and in industry; food biotechnology; and
mathematical modeling and software development for food processing
purposes. Authors and editors come from top engineering programs around
the world: the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Western Europe, but also South
America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East

5. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION
2. What is the readership and target audience?
Specificity of audience
3. Is the journal highly visible?
Is the journal included in electronic database ?
Is the journal online?

11. CASE STUDY
 Paper title :COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RIPE AND UNRIPE BANANA FLOUR
DURING STORAGE
 Abstract: Banana flour is an excellent alternative to minimize postharvest losses
and to retain the nutritive value of fresh bananas. Unripe banana flour is rich in
resistant starch, dietary fiber, and aids in colon health. Ripe banana flour contains
high amount of iron calcium, potassium and reducing sugars which helps in better
blood circulation and also aids in curbing the craving for nicotine, caffeine.
Comparative effect on physico-chemical, re-constitutional and sensory qualities of
prepared unripe and ripe banana pulp flour were evaluated during the storage of
sixty days at ambient conditions. Water absorption capacity of unripe banana flour
was greater than ripe banana flour. From FTIR spectroscopy it was cleared that ripe
banana flour was more dried than unripe banana flour. Due to presence of sugars in
ripe banana flour, its hygroscopicity was much higher than unripe banana flour.
Potential value added products such as cookies from unripe banana flour and bread
from ripe banana flour were prepared to determine the utilization of banana flour as
functional food ingredient.
 Keywords: unripe banana flour, ripe banana flour, physical properties, rehydration
properties

18. CONCLUSION
 Careful selection the journal reduces the chances of
rejection of work
 Increment in citation and visibility of publication
