It is possible to find journals pertinent to a search strategy on a specific topic. The search strategy is performed in a bibliographic database, then only journal articles are retained using the document type filter. The titles of the journals with the highest number of results can then be found in the filter column.
Examples of journal searches in bibliographic databases:
Most academic journals publish a web feed (email alert or RSS feed) that contains the table of contents of the latest issue or of individual articles that have just been accepted for publication.
When available for a journal, this link is posted on the publisher's website, or the journal's website.
The impact factor published in Journal Citation Reports is a measure for assessing the impact of a scientific journal in a field, based on its number of citations.
For more information on this specific metric, and other indicators related to journal impact, consult the guide Promoting Your Research Activities.
