So yeah, Ploughing through the thicket of finding the right topic or journal for high-impact paper, huh? Been there, done that! Reckon it's more of trial-and-error process. Sometimes you hit the bullseye, sometimes you miss by mile. But hey, that's research! Honestly, it’s like hunting for needle in the haystack, but one approach that's worked for me is keeping up with current trends and hot topics in my field. Reading lot really helps not just research papers but also blogs, news articles, even Twitter threads from experts. As for choosing journals, Impact Factor is the obvious go-to indicator. But don't get too hung up on it. Rather, look at your paper's fit with the journal's scope and its readership. It's like matchmaking you want your work to be valued and understood by those reading it.
