About the product

What does JournalCompass do?

JournalCompass is a free bilingual (Chinese/English) journal search tool covering 43,499 journals. It lists CAS rankings, impact factors, median review times and article processing charges, and an AI matcher shortlists suitable journals for a manuscript. It is publisher-neutral: unlike publisher-owned finders it recommends across all publishers. CAS stopped publishing its journal ranking list after the 2025 edition, so JournalCompass keeps that classification searchable.
