Publication Help services

Journal selection

Find a journal that fits your research, readership and publication requirements.

Start with a defined scope.

A useful shortlist starts with the manuscript itself. Journal scope, article type, editorial requirements and the intended readership all matter. An indexing label alone does not establish that a journal is the right destination for a particular paper.

What the service can include

  • A reasoned shortlist of suitable journals
  • Links to official author instructions and journal information
  • A comparison of submission requirements and disclosed publication charges

Prepare for your request

Prepare your title, abstract, subject area and any funder or institution requirements. Tell us about previous submissions so the shortlist can account for them.
