It depends on how many pixels you have in the image.
If the image is 3000 x 3000 pixels then it will have a print size of 10 x 10 inches if the resolution is set to 300 pixels/inch (ppi).

With all due respect, but if you don’t have any clue about digital images, perhaps it’s better not to send any digital pictures to any magazine. This question cannot be answered. It all depends on the final size of the image in the magazine. Without that information, it’s like asking "does anyone know the size of a country"?

What is this a picture of?

As a publisher of magazines that often tells authors to submit 300 dpi images I can tell you that what your publisher is expecting is an image of relatively good size (5" x 7") at 300 dpi.

DPI by the way is "Dots Per Inch" so that 5×7 would be 1500 pixels by 2100 pixels.

If the image will appear smaller, then the publisher will downsize it inhouse. If the image will be printed larger, the publisher will ask you for a larger version (and cross his fingers that you have an original larger version, not simply one you upscaled).

8x10inches @ 300dpi is the correct answer.
