Journal Reviewer
http://www.journalreviewer.org/
JournalReviewer is an independent site that aggregates information users provide about their experience with academic journals’ review processes so that others can be as informed as possible as they consider journal submissions. Their goal is to provide users with detailed information to help them choose the best journal for the specific details of their unique submission situation. Academic journal publishers and related organizations provide a lot of information about their journals. Editors. Editorial boards. Impact factors. Submission guidelines. That information is very helpful. If you’re a researcher publishing in academic journals, though, it’s very likely you’ve heard someone ask for, wonder about, or wish for other information about journals that isn’t so easy to find. How many reviews will a manuscript get? How thorough are the reviews? How long does it actually take to get a review back? Is the feedback helpful? After a typical discussion with a colleague who was experiencing a long manuscript review period and wondering if it was normal for that journal, they decided that they could pool the experiences of journal submitters to provide even more useful information about academic journals than what is typically available. Thus, JournalReviewer was born. As a supplement to the information provided by journals and organizations that rank and index them, JournalReviewer collects and aggregates feedback from users who have submitted manuscripts to journals to provide an information resource for others considering journal submissions. This will be added to Journalism Resources Subject Tracer™. This will be added to Business Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™. This will be added to Entrepreneurial Resources Subject Tracer™. This will be added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™.
