Edanz Journal Advisor

The Edanz Journal Advisor provides authors, especially those for whom English is not their first language, with tools and services to help them overcome barriers to publication success. It also includes guides and videos that inform authors throughout the publication process. 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 then use Edanz educational resources and services to improve their manuscript’s language, write a cover letter, and prepare for submission and peer review.
