Smart Move

If you are a PhD student, a university or commercial company researcher, or simply ready to publish an article, Smart Move will help you choose a journal for publishing your research.

You can select a journal at the stage of defining the concept for your future article (and we highly recommend choosing the journal at this stage, as it can save you a lot of time and effort).

You can choose a journal at any later stage of writing the article or when it is already complete.

To select a journal, you do not need a finished manuscript or abstract; you only need keywords.

Since a major research topic usually allows for the development of several publication options on separate sub-topics, we recommend testing the journal selection for several variants. For this purposes you can try our Compare topics function.

You will be able to choose the most suitable journal and also receive information for consideration, which will allow you to effectively:

Select the optimal sub-topic variant and adjust the article's writing in favor of a more in-demand option.
Plan the approximate timeline and budget you will need.
Plan a series of publications.
Consider the necessity of preparing the article with co-authors, etc.
