HMP app for iPhone and iPad

HelpMePublish is about helping you publish and crowdsourcing the experiences of the research community to help others publish too. Avoid publication pitfalls and increase your readership using data collected in real time from journal editors and academic users including: acceptance rates, refereeing policies, open access policies, speed to publication, effectiveness of communication, and more.

Developed by researchers at the University of Otago, HelpMePublish is a new kind of tool for academics, graduate students, and other researchers. It is designed to help you analyse, harness and contribute to the publication of research. The HMP app gives you secure live access to our library of information on thousands of reputable academic journals. We are a journal whitelist, including only reputable journals with expert editors and effective refereeing practices.

* Find more journals that suit your research using our built-in subject trees containing more than 840 subject categories.
* Contribute your own experience in publishing research using our built-in rating questionnaire.
* Build your own library of favourite journals in all the areas in which you publish.
* Add personal notes to any journal. Your notes are stored on your device. We don’t see them.
* Share journal information and statistics with other researchers by email, twitter or text.
* If journals have supplied us with their URL, you can jump straight to their website from within HMP.
* Your information is kept safe using industry standard encryption. See our privacy policy for more detail.

HMP databases cover: Chemistry - Computing - Ecology - Economics - Education - English - Evolution - Genetics - Geography - Marketing - Media, Film & Communication - Philosophy - Physical Education - more coming soon!

So for example HMP can find:

• EVERY journal that is in Evolution OR Genetics AND includes “epigenetics" in its title or journal description.
• EVERY Philosophy journal that offers blind refereeing AND sort that list MOSTLY by acceptance rate BUT A LITTLE by speed to publication.
• EVERY journal in International Economics OR Law and Economics. EXCLUDING any that do a a significant cull of submissions prior to refereeing.
