Abstract [Objective] This paper mesasures the influence of Journal Impact Factor (JIF) and journal tier for scholars’ manuscript submission behaviors in different regions. [Methods] First, we collected a journal’s monthly aceptance record and its JIF from Nature Publishing Group (NPG). Then, we examined the submission behaviors with panel negative binomial regression against two journal ranking systems (JCR Quartiles and CAS journal ranking). [Results] JIF has a negative effect on the number of papers submitted by scholars from the United States, Germany, and Japan, i.e., the number of these papers decreases while the JIF increases. In contrast, the journal’s ranking in JCR had a positive effect on the number of accepted papers from all countries. The CAS journal ranking has a positive effect on the number of accepted submissions from China. After excluding the influence of international collaboration, there are still positive effects. The impact of the CAS journal ranking (27.2%) is much more significant than that of JCR journal partition table (3.7%). [Limitations] We can only access the authors’ data of accepted/published papers from WoS journals of NPG rather than the completed submission records. [Conclusions] The submission behaviors of scholars are influenced by their country of residence, independent research, and different journal ranking systems. The findings of this paper will enrich the study of factors influencing scholars’ submission behaviors across countries.
