Be aware of the articles that you are reading: Suppose you have chosen a topic and found several research papers. Pay attention to the journals in your list and see if there is any specific journal more common than others.
You can use databases like https://www.scimagojr.com/ for searching journals. You can check the ranking of journals in different fields. This is a good and comprehensive database if you want to know the quality of a new journal.
Once you identify a journal, read the journal’s aim and scope in detail. See the editorial board member and strategic goal. A good practice is also to search with some keywords and see whether there are relevant papers published in the journal.
See where your peers are publishing: There are many journals out there. One way to examine the quality of journals is to see where the leading authors in your filed are publishing.
