Scrawling journal databases to find the right journal for your research is one of the most important tasks toward submission in a researcher’s checklist. And this can be a daunting process – with uncertainties about your work being suitable for your preferred journal and estimating the potential impact it can create for your research. Researcher.Life recognizes this challenge, which is why we have created the Global Journal Database, which generates journal reports that explain why the journals we recommend for you are best-suited to your research.
This free online journal database offers four modes of journal search and presents researchers with a journal report covering multiple points of information about each journal. Each journal report consists of three parts:
- Evaluation for the degree of match between the research and the recommended journal. It helps to understand how similar your research content is to papers the journal has published in the past.
- List of topics that are common between the previously published papers in the journal and your research.
- Papers the journal has published in the past, which discuss topics similar to your research.
Reading journal reports to understand match with target journal
There are two ways to assess the suitability of a journal for your research. We advise you to sign in to Researcher.Life to make the most of the journal database and view the full AI journal report for free.
