Home/Journal Finder
Find the right journal
before you submit, not after.
Scope, CiteScore, indexing, submission requirements and example manuscript structure for journals we've verified against their own author guidelines.
Browse the directory
Six ways to narrow it down.
Every journal in the finder carries the same six facets, so the directory filters the same way however it grows. Pick a starting point, or just search above.
What Journal Finder is for
Find, compare, check the fit, then submit on the journal's own site.
This is what we've built it to do, start to finish. We don't take your manuscript to the journal ourselves — you always submit directly, on their own system.
Find journals, anywhere
Search by name, or browse by subject, publisher, article type, country, publishing model or indexing — the directory isn't limited to one region or one publisher.
Compare side by side
Shortlist journals from their profile pages and compare scope, metrics and requirements in one table, before you commit to one.
Check your manuscript's fit
See how your draft matches a journal's own author guidelines before you submit. Your first three fit-checks against a chosen journal are free; after that, pick AI-only fixes or AI-plus-expert review.
Apply with the real journal
Every journal profile links straight to the publisher's own submission system. We help you prepare; the journal decides.
Steps 1 and 2 need no account. Step 3 does.
Searching, comparing and reading a journal profile are free and open. The moment a manuscript is involved it needs somewhere to live, along with its fit reports, its submission pack and whatever the journal replies — and that is what an account is.

The rest of what's free alongside it.
Calls for papers
Journal special issues, conference abstract deadlines and funding calls, each with the date it closes. Nothing stays listed after its deadline passes.
