Objectives

  • JANE
  • Match Manuscript
  • Journal Citation Reports

J.A.N.E.

Journal Author Name Estimator

"Jane first searches for the 50 articles that are most similar to your input*. For each of these articles, a similarity score between that article and your input is calculated. The similarity scores of all the articles belonging to a certain journal or author are summed to calculate the confidence score for that journal or author. The results are ranked by confidence score.

Just enter the title and/or abstract of the paper in the box, and click on 'Find journals', 'Find authors' or 'Find Articles'. Jane will then compare your document to millions of documents in PubMed to find the best-matching journals, authors, or articles."

Keyword search

Instead of using a title or abstract, you can also search using a keyword search, similar to popular web search engines. Click here to search using keywords.

Which papers are included in Jane?

All records in PubMed have been included that:

  • contained an abstract,
  • were published in the last 10 years,
  • did not belong to one of these categories: comment, editorial, news, historical article, congresses, biography, newspaper ar-ticle, practice guideline, interview, bibliography, legal cases, lectures, consensus development conference, addresses, clini-cal conference, patient education handout, directory, technical report, festschrift, retraction of publication, retracted publica-tion, duplicate publication, scientific integrity review, pub-lished erratum, periodical index, dictionary, legislation or government publication.

ORCID

Author identifiers provide a reliable method of connecting a researchers work with their name(s).  This includes publications, data sets, biographical information and other scholarly information.  This can be helpful by:

  • Providing a method of removing ambiguity between scholars with similar names
  • Providing a method of linking one's scholarly output to one identity even if a scholars name has changed over their career
  • Allowing for grant funders to easily find your research output
  • Ensuring that all of a scholars work is properly attributed to the correct scholar.

What does ORCID stand for?

ORCID stands for Open Researcher & Contributor ID

How do I obtain an ORCID?

You can register for an ORCID via the ORCID Registration page. Link your ORCID account with the University of Rochester and learn more here

Why should I obtain an ORCID?

ORCID provides a unique persistent digital identifier that allows researchers to distinguish themselves from every other researcher.  The ID offers a mechanism to distinguish individuals with common names, and are not affected by name changes, cultural differences in name order, inconsistent first-name abbreviations, or the use of different alphabets.

How can I associate publications with my ORCID?

Most scholarly publishers accept ORCID's during manuscript submissions. If you give publishers permission to do so, they can automatically update your ORCID profile when the submitted article is published.

You may also import publications, patents, grants and other works into your record any time.

You will then be given several options for searching for, importing or uploading publications to your profile.

Manuscript Matcher

Web of Science Manuscript Matcher

Manuscript Matcher helps you find the most related journals for your manuscript. It works best when your title has at least 10 words and your abstract has at least 100 words. Using this information, it will pull the most relevant keywords for matching.

Here are the steps to use the tool ‘Manuscript Matcher’ for publication suggestions. 

  • Visit Web of Science
  • If you do not have an account, create one using your URMC email address. 
  • In the top right corner, click on ‘Products’ and select Master Journal List.
  • Select ‘Match Manuscript’ under the search bar. 
  • Input the title and abstract in the respective fields and click find journals to view suggestions.

 

What is Open Access

Open Access, according to the Budapest Open Access Initiative is: "By 'open access' to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."
