After several years in development, Cabells launches its new Journalytics STEM product today, offering the same next-level journal data as its companion Academic and Medicine products to support the best possible decision-making across STEM subjects.
It’s taken time to put together Journalytics STEM simply because there are a lot of journals to review, curate, and assess in this field, with well over 7,000 journals included across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics areas. Combined with Predatory Reports, which recently hit the 20,000 journal milestone, the databases combine to offer a very powerful decision-making tool.
Thoughtful solution
Included in the package are journal data across a range of unique and licensed sources brought together to offer an optimal spread of information for users to help them decide where to publish and research their work. These data points include Altmetric and Scite-Smart Citations from Cabells’ respective strategic partners, as well as unique details on submissions and peer review, and Cabells’ own CCI citation influence score.
As with Cabells’ other products, access to Journalytics STEM will be available via a subscription and will include product integration with Predatory Reports as well as the journal selection tool CompassAI. As such, users will have access to two of the world’s most powerful databases for ensuring research integrity, boosted by the inclusion of a premium AI tool.
Decisions, decisions
Throughout the development of Journalytics STEM, we spoke with customers about their needs and were very aware that choices made regarding journals are more important than ever. Being able to access a wide range of publication data points in one place is key, as is the ability to compare those data while being given a helping hand from AI. What has surprised us are the increasingly varied and broader needs for such support, whether it is from an early career researcher looking for the best journal to publish their research in, or a research manager checking their faculty’s outputs.
A new use case that has emerged is that of the funder or librarian seeking an independent source of data, one without links to publishers or any national body. Cabells has been an independent company since the late 1970s, and continues to collate and provide publisher-agnostic data to all its customers without fear or favor. In an increasingly volatile environment, it is proud to now offer this service to the STEM community – now and for many years to come.
