Editage Launches PuMa, A Dynamic New Tool for Authors
Editage is proud to announce the launch of a dynamic new tool for authors. Publication Mate or PuMa can help authors identify research that is relevant or closely related to their own. PuMa also lists the journals where the research is published, thus identifying potential journals for authors to publish their own work in.
PuMa is currently in beta and will be under ongoing development to better identify journals and relevant research for authors. Currently, PuMa indexes over 250,000 biomedical articles from PubMed. Future plans include increasing the number of indexed papers as well as expanding the subject areas to include math, physics, and others. In addition, we intend to add useful journal information such as frequency and country of publication to strengthen PuMa as a tool that authors can use to select appropriate journals for publishing their research.
