Using Journal Selector, authors enter a brief description
of their research. Users can input a whole abstract, rather
than just the few terms or phrases that current academic
and science search tools allow. Journal Selector then
matches the author’s research to journals that are
publishing articles on similar topics. After selecting a
journal, authors can then use Edanz educational
resources and services to improve the language of their
manuscript, write a cover letter, and prepare for
submission and peer review.
