The Open Access transformation is progressing and scientists are increasingly facing the challenge of finding suitable Open Access journals for their manuscripts. In order to help we are developing a web-based recommendation service as part of the BMBF project "B!SON - Bibliometric and Semantic Open Access Recommender Network", which will make it easier for scientists to select suitable OA journals. After entering the title, abstract and bibliography of their manuscript, authors receive a list of quality-assured OA journals filtered by relevance. The recommender will be publisher-independent, free of charge, compliant with data protection regulations and developed according to open source principles.
In order to develop B!SON according to the needs of scientists, we need your help: Simply answer our online survey in about 10 minutes.
Many thanks to all who participate!
