Not able to find peers to publish with. Will publishing alone affect the credibility of the paper? I am a Master's student, and I'm nearly done with my first paper draft. Although the paper I am currently working on will be published with my advisor, I want to work in research areas that my advisor is not interested in. I can publish on my own but most papers I have reviewed have multiple authors. Will submission of a paper with only my name on it affect the chances of the paper being accepted? How can I go about finding like-minded people to work with?

No.  Reputable journals do not intentionally make publication decisions based on who the author(s) are.

That said, getting feedback from colleagues can help you improve your work before you submit it.
