Writefull – tool for academic writing

VILNIUS TECH Library specialists have developed a Scholarly Journal Selection Tool For Publication, which helps researchers identify the most suitable academic journal for publishing their articles more quickly and efficiently. The tool enables users to evaluate the key journal selection criteria in one place and make informed publishing decisions. “Disseminating research results is an important part of academic activity, yet finding the right journal often requires considerable time and effort. Researchers need to assess a journal’s scope, quality indicators, indexing in international databases, open access options, and publication costs. The new tool developed by Library specialists helps simplify this process. One of its greatest advantages is the ability to easily identify journals where VILNIUS TECH researchers can publish open access articles without paying an Article Processing Charge (APC),” says Ingrida Kasperaitienė, Director of the VILNIUS TECH Library. The tool helps researchers find journals in which VILNIUS TECH authors can publish their articles in open access without APC fees. These opportunities are made possible through agreements concluded by the Lithuanian Research Library Consortium (LMBA) with international publishers, under which article publication costs are covered through institutional subscription funding. If you have any questions regarding publishing, open access, or selecting the most appropriate journal, VILNIUS TECH Library specialists are ready to provide guidance and help you find the best solution.
