Our service focuses on three key factors:
Impact Factor
This score reflects the yearly mean number of citations of articles published in the last two years in a given journal, as indexed by Clarivate's Web of Science. A higher score generally means a prestigious journal.
Readership
As with all forms of publishing, the key aim is to present your writing to as large an audience as possible. Larger, more popular journals are more likely to attract larger numbers of submissions.
Open Access
With the rise of Open Access publishing, it's easier than ever to make your research accessible to the scientific community - however, an Open Access journal comes with its own set of challenges.
