I'd like to make this a place of discussion and advice for those who would like to submit an article to a scholarly journal, but lack experience in doing so.
I'll start with a few questions of my own:
1. When 'submitting down' papers, how long do you wait for a response from the editors until you try your luck with your next fav journal? Can I expect an answer at all or only in the affirmative case?
2. Do you change your paper with every submission to the format and style guide of that journal?
3. Is there some ranking system, objective or pseudo-objective, for journals on the history of navigation and nautical archaeology? I am reading at Itinerario something about being ranked by a Journal Citation Reports.
