Open access (OA) publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced that it is aiming to support authors to select the journal that best suits their research from the 350+ OA journals published by BioMed Central, Chemistry Central and SpringerOpen through the Edanz partnership.
The Journal Selector uses semantic technology to help authors quickly choose the OA journal that is right for their manuscript. Authors can enter an abstract or description of their research and the Journal Selector provides a list of relevant OA journals. Matches to a journal are based on the similarity of the entered text to articles already published in that journal.
Edanz provides language editing services and support for non-native English speaking authors to get their research accepted for international publication. It has partnered with BioMed Central on the creation of Author Academy, which is available in English, Chinese, Japanese and now Korean.
