Are there suggestions for where I should publish my article?
Answer
There are tools available to help you select a journal for publication.
- Journal/Author Name Estimator (JANE)
- "Enter the title and/or abstract of the paper in the box, and click on 'Find journals', 'Find authors' or 'Find Articles'. Jane will then compare your document to millions of documents in PubMed to find the best matching journals, authors or articles.
- Keyword search
- Instead of using a title or abstract, you can also search using a keyword search, similar to popular web search engines. Click here to search using keywords.
- Beware of predatory journals
- JANE relies on the data in PubMed, which can contain papers from predatory journals, and therefore these journals can appear in JANE's results. To help identify high-quality journals, JANE now tags journals that are currently indexed in MEDLINE, and open access journals approved by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)."
