A very useful app for the early stage of research, i.e. when doing the Literature Review. It’s really important to ensure that all recent articles concerning a selected research topic have been identified and reviewed. This avoids duplication of work that has already been done before. To quickly gather all the relevant articles from the mass of journals out there, it is necessary to swiftly narrow down the search to a few key journal titles – and this app is an elegant solution that does the job automatically.
This could also be useful when looking at the best place to submit an article idea.
