Heard Libraries offer new tool to connect researchers with journals

The Jean and Alexander Heard Libraries have migrated to a new journal finder for open access publishing. This new tool will allow authors to: 

  • View agreement details at the journal level—including author instructions, article types included in publisher agreements, and fees a journal might charge not covered by agreements, such as page or color fees. 
  • Evaluate the potential reach of journals using their two-year citation impact, indicated as “citedness” and sourced from OpenAlex. 
  • View articles published by others across campus and indexed in OpenAlex. 

Go to vanderbilt.openjournalfinder.com and search for journals included in the Heard Libraries’ open access agreements.
