By evaluating key performance metrics, we identify strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement, allowing publishers and editors to make data-driven decisions that enhance visibility, reputation, and author engagement.
Our service benchmarks your journal against leading national and international competitors, assessing factors such as citation impact, editorial board prominence, research scope alignment, and submission patterns. With these insights, we help you refine editorial strategies, improve author outreach, and increase journal influence in the global research community.
Common Challenges Faced by Journals in Competitive Benchmarking
Journals operate in a highly competitive publishing landscape, where tracking performance and staying ahead of rival publications is crucial. Many journals struggle with:
• Unclear competitive positioning, making it difficult to define unique strengths and advantages.
• Lack of insights into citation trends, impact factors, and indexing performance compared to peer journals.
• Editorial board visibility issues, affecting the journal’s ability to attract top-tier researchers and reviewers.
• Limited understanding of emerging research topics, leading to missed opportunities for high-impact submissions.
• Inefficient author engagement strategies, preventing increased submission rates and global reach.
