The worldwide author community now has a dynamic new way to select
the most appropriate journal in which to publish. As part of its mission to
help scientists communicate their research globally, Edanz has launched
the free-to-use Journal Selector as part of its Journal Advisor platform.
Journal Selector, which indexes over 18,000 journals, uses state of the art
semantic technology to match an authors research to journals that
publish articles on similar topics.
The Journal Selector is freely available here:

The Edanz Journal Advisor provides authors, especially non-native English
speakers, with tools and services to help them overcome barriers to
publication success. It also includes guides and videos that inform
authors about the publication process.
2. Journal Selector The Edanz Journal Selector is easy to use and delivers results immediately
How to use it 3. Narrow your options
Using Journal Selector, authors enter a brief description
of their research. Users can input a whole abstract, rather
than just the few terms or phrases that current academic
and science search tools allow. Journal Selector then
matches the authors research to journals that are
publishing articles on similar topics. After selecting a
journal, authors can then use Edanz educational
resources and services to improve the language of their
manuscript, write a cover letter, and prepare for
submission and peer review.
