Publication Plan

Informing your publication plan

Journal find tools require the searcher/author to provide the article's title, keywords or abstract, and the Journal finder tool will identify a list of potential journal titles.

Some of these journal tools also provide a range of journal metrics allowing potential authors to identify highly ranked journals. When a journal finder does not include journal metrics, use Scopus or Journal Citation Reports databases to identify highly ranking journals.

NOTE: These tools have been developed by publishers, so keep in mind that your results will be limited to those publishers. These tools are also based on machine-learning algorithms and they may throw up some unusual options.

JournalGuide

JournalGuide is a free tool that helps researchers to evaluate scholarly journals. In addition to searching by journal name, category or publisher, authors can use the title and abstract of a paper to discover journals that have already published articles on similar topics. By matching journals to a paper’s content, researchers can see which journals would be most likely to have interest in their story.
