Science Synapse AB

Software that makes scientific publishing easier to trust

We build and operate our own platforms for the research community. JournalLens helps researchers evaluate academic journals on evidence. JournAI helps authors find the right journal for their manuscript.

Our products

Two platforms, built and operated in house

Both products are developed by Science Synapse AB and run on our own infrastructure. Each has its own live platform that you can use today.

JournalLens

Live platform

Know which journals you can trust

JournalLens is a platform that helps researchers and institutions evaluate academic journals. It combines quality metrics, a credibility score and personalised recommendations so that publishing decisions are made on evidence rather than reputation alone.

The JournalLens index alone holds more than 224,000 academic journals, and a growing number of outlets are predatory or low quality. Choosing where to publish is high stakes and the information needed to choose well is scattered, inconsistent and often behind paywalls.

JournAI

Beta

AI assisted journal discovery

JournAI helps authors find the right journal for a specific manuscript. It analyses the work itself and suggests suitable venues, rather than relying on the author already knowing the landscape.

Matching a manuscript to a suitable journal is slow, manual and biased towards journals the author already knows. Poor matching causes desk rejections and long delays in publication.

Why we build this

The problem we work on

An endless wall of journals with inconsistent credibility signals, and a magnifying glass that cannot tell which one to trust

Too many journals to judge

Our index alone holds more than 224,000 academic journals, and the signals needed to tell a credible one from a predatory one are scattered and inconsistent.

A manuscript at a fork: one path reaches a credible journal, the other a predatory journal that costs months, funding and the researcher record

Publishing decisions are high stakes

A poor journal choice costs months of delay, wasted funding, and in the worst case damages a researcher record permanently.

Abundant open data flows towards an empty slot; the missing software piece is what turns it into a decision a researcher can act on

The data exists, the tooling does not

Open bibliographic data is now abundant. What has been missing is software that turns it into a decision a working researcher can act on.
