Description

In the world of research or otherwise known as the world of "publish or perish", publishing a paper is of "life or death" importance. One of the most relevant measures of success/usefulness/value in this world is the number of publications one has, and therefore the goal of every PhD student is to maximize it. In general, however, the problem is not as naive as that. That is, in reality, a PhD student faces a more complex multi-objective optimization problem. For instance, a PhD student wants to publish in good venues, maximizes the number of publications and also wants to finish his PhD within time limit. He would be interested to know the average Journal Response Time (JRT) of different journals, so that he can choose ones with minimum JRT. However, there is no data available that can help to see JRT of different journals.  We forsee this problem and developed a tool that provides this missing data about journals. A PhD student can use our tool to see the average response times of journals (JRT) and compare them , which consequently may help one choose the right journal based on one's constraints.
