You’ve begun your research with the intent of publishing your findings, but aren’t sure if your paper is unique. Or, you’ve written your paper but are unsure of an appropriate journal to submit to.  A project funded by the Netherlands Bioinformatics Center for the Biosemantics Group, a collaborative effort between Medical Informatics department of the ErasmusMC University Medical Center of Rotterdam and the Center for Human and Clinical Genetics of the Leiden University Medical Center may be of assistance.

A search tool entitled JANE (Journal/Author Name Estimator) allows the user to search for similar papers, relevant citations for papers and among other things, journals that would be a good fit for publication topics.

All UB students who complete the survey by the deadline will be entered into a drawing to win great prizes, including a $500 airline voucher, an iPad2, $50 Walmart gift cards, $10 Campus Cash gift cards, as well as free movie passes and tickets for UB’s Center for the Arts and Distinguished Speakers Series.
