B!SON, a recommender for open access journals – grazing on DOAJ data – DOAJ Blog

"B!SON is a tool that recommends open access journals based on a particular manuscript, while providing full transparency on what its recommendations are based on. By supporting and simplifying the journal selection process, B!SON supports authors in all career stages who are looking for the best-fitting open access journal. In addition, it can help academic libraries provide guidance to their researchers with identifying the best place to share their research results, even offering an option to use an institutionally adapted B!SON version. B!SON’s algorithm is based on machine learning and uses open data sources, including article and journal metadata from DOAJ. B!SON, just like DOAJ, can therefore be seen as a building block of the open scholarly infrastructure ecosystem."
