Identify journals is a tool from Global Campus, a company based in Utrecht in the Netherlands, that helps researchers choose where to submit a manuscript, particularly when the paper sits in a tangential discipline or has been rejected by top journals. It uses semantic search to find journals that have published similar work, lists the matching papers so that they can be referred to in a submission, and lets users filter results by publication type, including conferences and preprint servers. In September 2026 Global Campus and ChronosHub announced an integration that runs a scope and fit check on each manuscript as it arrives in the editorial workflow and gives editors a ranked list of suitable journals.
Benefits & outcomes
- ChronosHub reports that in a pilot on 1,000 published articles, the journal that actually published each article appeared in the tool’s top five results 74% of the time and in the top ten about 90% of the time.
Notes & quotes
- “Find journals on the basis of matching content instead of bibliometric factors.” Global Campus.
