Was it published in an important journal?

is the question not necessary to be asked in evaluation of research report.

The factors that are important are:Accuracy of research question, sample as representative of population, control of confounding variable, research design, data analysis, discussion and conclusion, ethics etc. Nowhere it is needed to be known whether it is published in important journal or not.
