A PLATFORM TO HELP SELECTING JOURNALS MOST LIKELY TO PUBLISH YOUR MANUSCRIPT?

To date, I am not aware of a repository helping us out identifying most suitable journals for our articles in an automated ways. Even though there are some publishers that offer this service within their platform of journals. I am searching for this information, and if you have news about any useful platform, please share your insights in the comments to this blogs post. 

I recommend you to be aware of OpenAccess Opportunities

Open access (OA) literature allows to share scholarship, digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What makes OA possible is the internet and the consent of the author or copyright-holder.  OA is compatible with peer review, and all the major OA initiatives for scientific and scholarly literature insist on its importance. Just as authors of journal articles donate their labor, so do most journal editors and referees participating in peer review.  OA literature is not free to produce, even if it is less expensive to produce than conventionally published literature.
