Meanwhile, Ferry Jie conveyed the trick to pass reputable international journals Top Tiered Q1 and Q2, journal references must be taken from Q1 and Q2 so that they are at the same level when sent to the target journal. “Strategies that can be applied, such as structure, systematic writing, introduction, method, design, literature review must comply with the standards of reputable journals Q1 and Q2,” he said.
Apart from that, novelty and critical thinking must also be considered so that it can be published in Q1 and Q2 journals. According to him, the similarity index must be below 20%, research development should not be self-initiated, the combination methodology, for example IoT with machine learning, must be connected to novelty and needs to be out of the ordinary in writing stories.
