pubshub

PubsHub is a “strategic publication planning tool,” a database to help you choose to which medical journal or meeting to submit your manuscript or present your data.

i saw a demo of this in the exhibits hall at the medical library association meeting and enjoyed the clean, easy interface with a series of drop-down boxes from which you choose your criteria. rank medical journals by 50 fields of information, like impact factor, circulation, or amount of time (in days) from acceptance to publication.  they don’t yet have in the database whether or not you need to negotiate with the publisher to have your nih-funded manuscript made available, but the representative said they would be adding that information soon.  you can store searches and get email alerts (no rss?) of deadlines.  a free trial is available.
