Where Should I Publish on my Topic?

  • JANE: Journal/Author Name Estimator
    • Open Access Icon
    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 Medline to find the best matching journals, authors or articles.
  • JournalGuide
    • Open Access Icon
    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.
  • Ulrich's Periodicals Directory
    • On Campus or VPN
    Can be used to find information about a particular journal (is it refereed? who is the publisher?) as well as to identify journals that publish in specific subject areas.
  • Web of Science
    • On Campus or VPN
    Use the Analyze Results tool to help you find which journals are publishing on your topic. Search on your topic, then click on Analyze Results at the top right of the results list. At the next screen, select Source Title and the number of titles you want to see. The journals with the most citations matching your topic will then display.

Journal Impact Factors

The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor will help you evaluate a journal's relative importance, especially when you compare it to others in the same field.

  • Journal Citation Reports
    • On Campus or VPN
    Provide data that helps you evaluate and compare scholarly journals in the sciences and social sciences based on citations in indexed articles to other articles in a particular journal
  • Eigenfactor
    • Open Access Icon
    Created as a competitor to JCR's Impact Factors, the Eigenfactor™ Score is a measure of the overall value provided by all of the articles published in a given journal in a year. The Article Influence™ Score is a measure of a journal's prestige based on per article citations. The site also evaluates the cost effectiveness of journals.
  • Scimago Journal and Country Rank
    • On Campus or VPN
    The SJR is another competitor to JCR's Impact Factors, created from the Scopus database. It expresses the average number of weighted citations received in the selected year by the documents published in the selected journal in the three previous years.
