Factors Determining Publication in a Journal: A Questionnaire Study among Dentists of Odisha
Open accessAbstract
Introduction: Research activities have increased manifold due to the importance of scientific publication in advancing an academic career. Researchers find it strenuous to choose journals due to the availability of a higher number of scientific journals. Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the various journal factors that affect its selection to publish research work and the motivating factors involved in it. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 219 dental professionals that included dental faculties, postgraduate students, and private dental practitioners of Odisha, through a self-administered questionnaire via Google Forms consisting of 15 items. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis with a level of significance set at 0.05. Results: Respondents were predominantly dental faculty (53%). Factors influencing journal selection were citation of the journal (89.4%), followed by impact factor and indexing of the journal. Less than half (42.4%) agreed to pay the publishing charges. It was observed that PubMed indexing was preferred, followed by Scopus. The reason to publish was different for faculty and postgraduate students. Conclusions: Researchers consider various factors before publishing in a journal with the intent of discoverability and recognition. The study revealed that indexing of journals and impact factor as important aspects of choosing a journal for publication.

Nanda J et al. reported that 42.4% of participants considered the payment of publication fees to be a substantial obstacle.
“Nanda J et al., reported that 42.4% of participants considered the payment of publication fees to be a substantial obstacle (16).”
From Research Publication Challenges Faced by Dentists in India: A Narrative Review of Multilevel Barriers (2026) · cites this paper as [16]
The Results report that 93 of 219 participants (42.4%) considered paying publication charges, and the Discussion says that 42.4% preferred payment of publishing fees. Although the paper discusses high fees as a barrier, it does not identify the 42.4% as participants who considered fees a substantial obstacle; that percentage describes willingness to pay. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredLack of recognition and rewards for research contributions contributes to low publication rates across dental institutions.
“Another contributor to low publication rates across Dental Institutions is the lack of recognition and rewards for research contributions (16).”
From Research Publication Challenges Faced by Dentists in India: A Narrative Review of Multilevel Barriers (2026) · cites this paper as [16]
The Results and Discussion (page not specified in our copy) say that faculty publish for discoverability and recognition, and that awards and prizes can provide added incentives. They do not establish that a lack of recognition or rewards causes low publication rates across dental institutions; the study was limited to dental professionals in Odisha. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
