SPI-Hub: New Journal Evaluation Tool

The Scholarly Publishing Information Hub is a new journal evaluation tool created with biomedical scientists in mind. This tool quickly evaluates journals and allows users to compare journals based on impact metrics, editorial policies, and general journal information. Users can search this tool with keywords, journal names, or by author. SPI-Hub is a great resource when preparing to publish a manuscript. For more information on publishing your research check out our library guide.
