Discussion:
[Scikit-learn-general] off topic: advice for machine learning + medicine journal

Hi,
I am collaborating with a medical research group. We performed some
analysis on a medical dataset using Random Forest, the boruta algorithm and
partial dependency plot.

We wrote a paper with our findings containing some interesting medical
information. The novelty from a machine learning point of view is close to
zero.

We want to publish this paper but we do not really know where to submit
it. It can not be submitted to a traditional medical journal as they would
probably not accept an analysis based on machine learning algorithms. At
the same time we can not submit it to a machine learning journal as the
novelty in that area is too small.

We tried to submit to
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/artificial-intelligence-in-medicine/ but
the paper was rejected as not containing enough artificial intelligence
novelty. (This was expected).

Where can we submit a paper like this?
Thanks a lot,
Luca

Hi Luca,

Check scimago www.scimagojr.com

You will be able to see the ranking of the journal and in which fields they
are classified. From the information that you give, I cannot give you any
advice because in medicine, there is a lot of categories depending of the
modalities and diseases. For instance in my works which is more medical
imaging with some MRI data, you can go either with medical image analysis,
IEEE medical imaging or in clinical with something like journal of magnetic
resonance imaging.

Hope that's helping.

Cheers,
