Submitting Your Article

SPI-Hub

Developed by the Center for Knowledge Management at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, SPI-Hub™ is a free tool that enables you to easily find peer-reviewed journals from reliable sources.
Search journals by:
I. "Journal title" -- retrieves an individual title and identifies 26 scholarly criteria for quality assessment
II. "Topic" -- identifies journals in which to publish based on users' research topics; results are ranked based on an algorithm weighted by quality factors and the number of articles the journal has published on the research topic
III. "Author" -- allows users to identify scholarly journals in which colleagues in their field of interest/research publish
IV. "My Citations" -- retrieves journals from both a personal citation library and a curriculum vitae

Scholarly Publishing News

Articles and posts from Delta Think and The Scholarly Kitchen:

Delta Think, through work on their Data & Analytics Tool,  primarily analyzes the market trends and dynamics within the scholarly publishing industry, particularly focusing on the Open Access (OA) market, including revenue generated by OA journals and the volume of OA publications, along with subject area and regional distribution analysis, providing insights into emerging opportunities and challenges not only for publishers but libraries, consortia, and authors as well.

The mission of the Society for Scholarly Publishing is "to advance scholarly publishing and communication, and the professional development of its members through education, collaboration, and networking.” The Scholarly Kitchen is a moderated and independent blog aimed to help fulfill this mission by bringing together differing opinions, commentary, and ideas, and presenting them openly.
