There is - I read about it on a blog some months ago. May even have been published - Bioinformatics? Can't find it in the bookmarks though - will get back to you. - Neil Saunders
Found it: it's called Jane. Abstract: http://bioinformatics.oxfordjo...; server: http://biosemantics.org/jane/. Not quite what you want - suggests journals based on a title and/or abstract. - Neil Saunders
I find JANE and eTBlast very helpful when looking for reviewers for mss, and I think they'd both be useful in finding journals by looking for similar papers. Neither of them give any info about impact factor or rejection rates though. - Bill Hooker
Neil, thanks a lot, exactly that is what I'm looking for. Tried it out with my paper, it gives pretty good suggestions like Journal of Clinical Investigation and Tissue Engineering, PNAS, American Journal of Physiology, and my favorite: Zhongguo yi xue ke xue yuan xue bao. Acta Academiae Medicinae Sinicae - Attila Csordas
I second etBlast. Helps find reviewers and journals - Michael Barton
Just used Jane on an a current in progress publication. The journal suggestion and author suggestions are interesting as a) it suggests quite clearly the lab the work has come from but b) suggests journals which are almost universally ones the lab in question has published in. So is it just a small field or are the athors already publishing in the correct journal? ;) - Daniel Swan
JANE may include Eigenfactor data in the near future, so keep an eye out for that. I think the two will go together like chocolate and peanut butter. - Rebecca Holz
We just tried both jane & etblast on an abstract and they did quite a nice job -- the top 2 suggestions were just flipped. Jane did have eigenfactors, and usefully, it was also much faster. - Donnie Berkholz
Eigenfactor FTW :). Glad to see instances of that in the wild now - Deepak
You could also take a look at Scimago http://www.scimagojr.com/; I've heard good things about it. - Maxine
