Information for Researchers

Publishing your work in a peer-reviewed journal is an indication of quality. Intending researchers need to submit their articles for review experts in the field before the article can be approved for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Many databases allow you to restrict your search to peer-reviewed journals. To check if a journal is peer-reviewed, you can search for it in Ulrichs Web Global Serials Directory or refer to the ISI Master Journal List.

Articles to be included in the University of Canberra's report for the Higher Education Research Data Collection (HERDC), which determines allocations to universities under performance based funding schemes, must be published in peer-reviewed journals.

EndNote finds the journals that best fit your manuscript by searching Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports.

Have you recently written a paper, but you're not sure to which journal you should submit it? Or maybe you want to find relevant articles to cite in your paper?  

 Jane will compare your document to millions of documents in Medline to find the best matching journals, authors or articles.

Instead of using a title or abstract, you can also search using a keyword search, similar to popular web search engines.

Journal Finder matches your title and abstract to the title and scope of a journal, and also to the content of articles the journal has published. This may give the researcher options that they had not previously considered.

You can filter results by open access or subscription, impact and speed of peer review.  Also you can see a visualization of metrics associated with the suggested titles.

Think. Check. Submit provides checklists to determine if a journal is a suitable venue to publish your research.
