letter, or deciding whether a paper is better as a method, application,
characterization, or comparative article.
Fit Dimensions
- journal scope,
- audience,
- article type,
- novelty bar,
- computational reproducibility expectations,
- data availability requirements,
- figure and word limits,
- citation and formatting style,
- likely reviewer expertise.
Output Schema
{
"ranked_journals": [
{
"journal": "computers_chem_eng",
"fit_score": 4,
"reason": "algorithmic process-simulation contribution",
"required_reframing": ["emphasize benchmark design", "tighten software novelty"]
}
]
}
Pass Criteria
- Recommended journal exists in
journals/ or is clearly marked as new profile needed.
- The novelty claim matches the journal audience.
