Journal search tools

While this arguably may not be an authoritative list of journals relating to laboratory informatics, bioinformatics, and other forms of informatics, an attempt has been made to make it thorough. That said, the following are additional tools which may help you find additional informatics-related journals:

1. ResearchBib and its research journal seeker
2. WikiCFP, a wiki for calls for papers
3. DLINE, a scholarly portal that "focuses on research and development in computing sciences and technology"
