Faculty Webpage: Publish

Identify a journal in which to publish based on subject, peer review, open access, speed of review and other factors.

Enter your article title or abstract and JANE will provide a list of journals that may be appropriate for your submission.

Similar to JANE, but is a tool built into EndNote X9 desktop/laptop software, also in the EndNote Online subscription that can be accessed from the Web of Science database. Like JANE it suggests journals based on matching keywords in the title or abstract of your manuscript.

Look up the key journals in your field, sortable by impact factor, Eigenfactor or other metrics.

Similar to impact factor, Scopus evaluates journals with several metrics to determine their value within a given field.

The Center for Knowledge Management at Vanderbilt University Medical Center has created the Scholarly Publishing Information Hub (SPI-Hub™). This is a tool designed to support prospective authors with journal identification and evaluation. The tool is freely available and facilitates journal discovery by journal, topic, and author search (including the ability to leverage the use of an ORCID profile).

A tool to help researchers identify trusted journals and to avoid predatory publications.

Designed at Loyola Marymount University to help faculty evaluate journals.
