How to Pick a Journal for Publishing a Research Work? I got my MS in EE way back in 1994 and have not presented at a conference, or published in a journal before, but I had and still have an intense interest in the applied math that I learned. I have been working my own research project for a few years, and I want to publish a paper on my work. What I did is develop an algorithm similar to a discrete Kalman fiter, and it gives better estimates under certain conditions. I am looking for advice on what journal would a good choice. It would take to long for me to learn LaTeX (is that what it's called), and I don't have the education needed to develop the sophisticated math that I see in many journals.
Getting work published in a high impact factor journal is quite a slog. If you're starting from not having presented at a conference etc. before, that's going to be an even bigger ask.  

However, it's not impossible.

For IEEE journals, short notes about signal processing topics can be sent to the IEEE Signal Processing Letters journal.

However, starting there might be too much.

What I'd suggest is to look at starting with an online journal such as arxiv or PLOSone. 

Even before submitting there, I'd suggest posting a question here that might be relevant to the situations where the algorithm might be better than others, and also posting an answer with your algorithm.

The aim with any of these submissions is to get feedback about your work and improve it or its presentation.
