Question Description:
I have submitted a paper to a medical journal. The editor refused it, and after my approval, sent it to a transfer system that suggested an open access journal.It is the open version of a prestigious, high impact factor journal. However, the open version has no impact factor yet. What are the consequences of publishing in the open version of a high impact journal, versus publishing in another journal with lower impact factor? In the future, it will probably be assigned an impact factor, too? What do you recommend?
