Pre-Check & Journal Finder
Paste a title + abstract for two answers in one sub-second check: your acceptance-probability tier verdict and a ranked shortlist of target journals from a 17,500-venue index — plus your detected field and surrounding research gaps. Use it to judge fit and where to publish before formal submission. Create a free account to run it — 25 credits to start, each run costs 15 credits.
Need a full peer-review report with detailed agent analysis and an editorial recommendation? Use AI Review Engine instead — 8 specialized agents + synthesis, for complete manuscripts.

Frequently asked questions
Creating an account is free, and new accounts start with 25 credits. Each Pre-Check / Journal Finder run costs 15 credits. Paste a title, abstract, and a few keywords and you get an acceptance-probability tier, your detected field, a ranked target-journal shortlist, and surrounding research gaps — no PDF upload needed. Credits are bought in one-time packs and never expire.
The tier (Top / Mid / Open-Emerging) is calibrated against real academic acceptance rates, but it is a fast triage signal from your title and abstract, not a guarantee — an editor's decision depends on the full manuscript. Treat it as a pre-submission gut-check; for a detailed editorial report on the complete paper, use the full AI Review.
It ranks a 17,500-venue index by how well your abstract matches each journal's recent papers, and shows match score, open-access status, an impact signal, and similar published papers. The index deliberately includes regional and Turkish TR-Dizin venues alongside the big names, so the shortlist isn't only elite journals. On a benchmark of 46 real papers, the true publishing venue appeared in the top 5 for 54.3% of papers (strongest in chemistry and physics (four papers per field)) and in the top 10 for 67.4%.
No upload — title, abstract, and keywords are enough for the triage. You do need a free account to run it (new accounts get 25 credits; each run costs 15), and we don't publish or share the text you paste. If you want a full review of the complete manuscript, that's the separate AI Review.
This page is a sub-second pre-check (15 credits): tier verdict, detected field, ranked journals, and research gaps from your title and abstract. AI Review is the full report — 8 specialist agents plus synthesis analyzing your complete manuscript with an editorial recommendation — and costs 30 credits. Everything is pay-as-you-go: buy credits in one-time packs, and they never expire.
No. The 17,500-venue index spans high-impact, open-access, emerging, regional, and Turkish TR-Dizin journals, so authors aiming at realistic or regional destinations get relevant matches, not just unreachable top-tier titles. Each suggestion shows its open-access status and an honest cites-per-paper signal rather than a single prestige number.
