Find a journal for your paper – new Elsevier journal finder tool

Elsevier’s new Journal Finder tool is now live in BETA version. How does it work?
Authors enter their paper title, abstract and/or keywords and the tool creates a list of Elsevier journals that match the topic of their article. Results can be ordered by impact factor, acceptance rates, editorial or production times. The selection contains links to each journal’s homepage and Elsevier Editorial Submission page.

The tool is designed to:

• Help less experienced authors to select suitable Elsevier journals for their papers
• Enable authors working across multidisciplinary fields to identify possible journals
• Highlight journals that offer open access options, and provide information on editorial time and impact factors

*Please note that populating the tool with a published abstract does not guarantee that the journal it was originally published in will appear in the selection. The tool aggregates over the top N (N>200) best matching articles in Scopus and is based on frequency. So if the journal of the best match does not occur often enough in that list, it drops out of the shortlist of best matching journals. The tool currently does not support TeX, HTML, MathML, and LaTeX files.
