How to write and publish a paper in ISI journal: A closer look to Eastern European economics, business and management journals

Scientific research publishing is important for the development of the society. In publication of the scientific research results other motives apart from the dissemination of knowledge also exist, which are important for the individual: requirement for graduation and for promotion, and to be recognized as respectable researcher. A publication by the level of difficulty in accepting a paper could be graded in the following order from the easiest to the hardest: book chapter, conference, non-indexed journal and indexed journal. Journals are currently indexed in two databases: Scopus and Web of Science (ISI). Among those, Web of Science (ISI) has a long tradition and is a formally accepted in a number of countries and institutions as an indicator of the quality of indexed journal. Hence, publication in ISI journal is an important venue for scientific researchers, although previously published papers indicate that there are substantial obstacles for researchers from developing countries. Four critical questions emerge: (1)How to pick a topic that is relevant for publication?, (2) How to select a journal for possible publication of research results?, (3) How to arrange the paper in accordance with IMRAD outline?, and (4) How to efficiently write the paper?. The goal of the paper is to propose simple yet highly applicable advice when answering these questions and thus pursuing the publication of a paper in an ISI journal with a closer look to economics, business and management journals that focus on Eastern European countries.
