How to Find Your Right Journals: Tips for Students, Researchers

I've spent hours and hours finding what journals should I subscribe for my future career in Marketing and Data mining. I was lost in the ocean of journals. Fortunately, Dr. Tuấn's article on journal ranking have saved my life. There are thousands of journals out there so we need to pick out some good reading source by using some criteria and tools.

If finding a reliable reading source is a difficult job for you, I highly recommend using the eigenfactor.org 's search engine. It lets you sort journals by its citation frequency (Eigen Factor - EF) or by its level of influence (Article Influence - AI). You may want to choose study field in search criteria to your best interest. Eigenfactor.org is a powerful machine and it's free. Google Scholar also has its ranking list on scholar journals but I don't understand the metrics they used (last link on my reference).
To understand more about EF & AI indexes, you can google it or see the first link in my reference (an article in Vietnamese).

After a few minutes searching, I picked out some influential journals for business and computing studies. Actually, I really like Harvard Business Review for business reading because of its selective ideas and its well-designed content for readers. If we have the same taste of science, let's check out my list:
