Journal fit
Where could this manuscript go?
Journal-fit suggestions are generated automatically after your Scenario A pre-review and appear inside the same report — not as a separate tool or paid tier.
Catalog + vectors
Journal rows are enriched from public metadata (e.g. Crossref, DOAJ) and embedded into a dedicated Qdrant collection for similarity search.
Discipline-aware retrieval
We infer your field from the review context, apply soft filters, and relax them if the catalog is sparse — so you still get usable shortlists.
Report + export
Suggestions appear in the web report and exports (DOCX / PDF) with conservative wording: always verify aims, scope, and reporting guidelines yourself.
Included with every Scenario A pre-review — no extra fee
Part of your review, not a standalone product
When you order an AI-assisted pre-review (Scenario A), the platform may append a journal-fit section after the main evaluation. You do not buy journal matching separately, paste text into a side tool, or pick a pricing tier for it. The same upload → quote → payment → report flow covers the full review.
How it runs
Automatic after your pre-review
Matching uses your manuscript title, abstract, and review context — not a generic chat prompt.

Upload your manuscript
Submit your main file (PDF or DOCX) through the standard upload flow. Tables and figures can be added in separate slots.

Scenario A pre-review completes
Literature-aware RAG and multi-agent analysis produce your referee-style report, scores, and action plan.
- 3
Catalog similarity + optional re-rank
We embed your text, search our in-house biomedical journal catalog in Qdrant, apply discipline-aware filters, and optionally re-rank with a small model.

Journal-fit block in your report
Shortlisted journals appear in the web report and in DOCX/PDF exports, with fit scores, quartile notes where available, and links to author guidelines.
In your report
What you will see
The journal-fit section mirrors what authors use to shortlist venues before checking each journal site.
- Up to ten suggested journals with a 0–100 fit score and brief rationale
- Quartile labels (Q1–Q4) when present in our catalog
- Rejection-risk bullets where the model flags scope or design mismatches
- Links to author guidelines or journal websites when we have them
- A short overall note and a clear disclaimer that this is not submission advice
Good to know
When the section may be empty
- • Your topic had no strong matches in our catalog (we are expanding coverage over time).
- • The matcher was disabled for that run (operations flag) or the review predates the feature.
- • Discipline filters were relaxed because the catalog was sparse — read rationales carefully.

Journal-fit output is informational, based on catalog embeddings and an optional re-rank. It is not a substitute for reading each journal’s official aims, scope, and instructions for authors.
