Publishing & impact
Finding researchers, where to publish and journal impact.
- Open Access Fund As long as you publish in an open access journal published in the Directory of Open Access Journals, UC DAvis Library will help cover your APC fees.
- JANE (Journal/Author Name Estimator) paste your article abstract and JANE will match your abstract to similar journals.
- SJFinder Put in your research field and your article title and abstract and this tool will help you find a journal.
- Journal Look Up Tool (JOLT)JOLT enables authors to search by a given journal title or ISSN to determine whether it is eligible for financial support under one of UC’s open access publishing agreements. At the moment it covers only journals by publishers that the UC has an open access agreement with, meaning that if a journal title can’t be found, the journal is not eligible for support under such an UC agreement. Additional features such as a subject search, and including journals covered by campus-level agreements or support (such as our local open access fund) are in development for a later release. The JOLT page offers also a feedback option and authors are encouraged to provide any comments or suggestions.
