PubGrade Contextual creates your own “Journal”

We build a campaign-specific subset of relevant articles across publishers and journals, based on your topic, audience, and targeting goals. That means the most relevant journals are often strongly represented, while additional high-fit articles from other journals can also be included. Typical PubGrade campaigns deliver into hundreds of different journals per campaign.
