Our Journal Finder will recommend suitable journals, based on your input, such as the manuscript title, abstract or key words. It will create an overview of relevant journals and the most important information you need to make your decision, including Impact factor, 5-year impact factor, Downloads, Submission to first decision (Median).


You can then easily share these results with your co-authors and peers, either via a shareable link or by downloading the results as CSV file:
