Jane – Journal/Author Name Estimator
2008 January 28
Jane – Journal/Author Name Estimator is a new web based application that can suggest potential reviewers or target journals for a manuscript based on its title and abstract. It was just published by Bioinformatics under Advance Access (but unfortunately it’s not an open access article). I have tested two of my upcoming publications and Jane performed well: I wasn’t surprised by most of predicted names and journal titles. The topic I’m writing about in these papers is rather narrow, so don’t treat it as any performance measure – test it yourself, if you are interested.
Probably I’m not going to use it as authors suggested – I consider this application a helpful literature research tool.
Always good quality info from this site!
