This situation leads the introduction of journal recommender systems by leading academic publishers. Without using a journal recommender system, this step would be a very time consuming task. This study reviewed similar studies in the literature. Current study is the first version' of journal recommender system for TRDIZIN index which has an increasing amount of articles.
