    Example session with this skill installed

    Use journal-selector to find the best target journal for my paper on self-supervised learning applied to medical imaging.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the journal-selector

    Ranked 5 journals by fit. Top pick: Medical Image Analysis (Q1, IF 10.9) as primary, with IEEE TMI and Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics as backups.

    Ranked recommendations

    RankJournalQuartileIFFitWhy
    1Medical Image AnalysisQ110.99/10Strong ML-methods plus medical focus; your contribution type matches
    2IEEE Trans. Medical ImagingQ18.98/10Method-heavy; slightly slower review
    3Computerized Medical Imaging and GraphicsQ15.78/10Good backup, faster turnaround
    4Scientific ReportsQ13.96/10Broader scope, open access (APC about $2k)
    5NeuroImageQ16.54/10Too domain-specific (neuro only)

    Submission strategy

    • Primary: Medical Image Analysis, highest fit and impact.
    • Backup 1: IEEE TMI if desk-rejected for scope.
    • Backup 2: CMIG for speed.

    Open-access note

    • MedIA and TMI are hybrid (optional OA). Scientific Reports is full OA with an APC. If funding requires OA, factor the APC into your choice.

    Next steps

    • Format the manuscript to the primary venue's template.
    • Run reviewer before submitting to catch issues real reviewers would flag.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Submitting to the wrong journal wastes months and burns a submission. A scope mismatch leads to a fast desk rejection, even for a strong paper. This skill matches your paper to the right venue.

    What it does

    • Analyzes your paper's topic, methodology, contribution type, and quality against journal profiles.
    • Considers scope, quartile, impact factor, and acceptance expectations.
    • Produces ranked recommendations with rationale.
    • Builds a primary plus backup submission strategy and covers open-access considerations.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General prompts name a few well-known journals without checking fit. This skill scores scope and quality match, estimates desk-rejection risk, and gives a tiered strategy so you are not left guessing after a rejection.

    Use cases

    • Deciding where to submit a completed paper.
    • Choosing between multiple candidate journals.
    • Planning a submission strategy with a primary target and backups.
    • Evaluating open access versus subscription trade-offs.

    Known limitations

    Journal metrics change annually, and scope and APCs shift over time. Use the recommendations as guidance, then confirm the latest impact factor, quartile, and acceptance expectations on the journal's site.

    Important

    It matches your paper to venues; it does not submit for you or guarantee acceptance. Run it after the paper is nearly complete, then format it to the primary venue and run the reviewer.

    Why buy it

    Use it when deciding where to submit a completed or nearly completed paper. It is the second step of the Polish Pack.
