While impact factor is a commonly used metric for journal evaluation, it is not the sole determinant of publication quality or scholarly impact. Authors may opt to submit to reputable journals without an impact factor if they align with the journal's scope, editorial standards, and target audience. Other factors such as peer review rigor, editorial board expertise, and indexing in reputable databases should also be considered when selecting a publication venue.
