Abstract: This paper is concerned with a class of partition functions $a(n)$ introduced by Radu and defined in terms of eta-quotients. By utilizing the transformation laws of Newman, Schoeneberg and Robins, and Radu's algorithms, we present an algorithm to find Ramanujan-type identities for $a(mn+t)$. While this algorithm is not guaranteed to succeed, it applies to many cases. For example, we deduce a witness identity for $p(11n+6)$ with integer coefficients. Our algorithm also leads to Ramanujan-type identities for the overpartition functions $overlinep(5n+2)$ and $overlinep(5n+3)$ and Andrews--Paule's broken $2$-diamond partition functions $riangl{e}_2(25n+14)$ and $riangl{e}_2(25n+24)$. It can also be extended to derive Ramanujan-type identities on a more general class of partition functions. For example, it yields the Ramanujan-type identities on Andrews' singular overpartition functions $overline{Q}_{3,1}(9n+3)$ and $overline{Q}_{3,1}(9n+6)$ due to Shen, the $2$-dissection formulas of Ramanujan and the $8$-dissection formulas due to Hirschhorn.
