How accurate is the acceptance-probability tier?

The Top / Mid / Open-Emerging probabilities are estimated from where the most similar papers in the 7.9M-paper local library were published, scaled by per-field acceptance-rate anchors. It is a fast triage signal from your title and abstract, not a guarantee — an editor's decision depends on the full manuscript — and we have not published a measured accuracy for it. When too few of the similar papers sit in journals on our curated tier list, the odds are rougher: they lean on the Scimago quartiles of the journals those papers appeared in or, failing that, on the field's base acceptance rates. Treat it as a pre-submission gut-check; for a detailed editorial report on the complete paper, use the full AI Review.

How does the journal finder choose which journals to suggest?

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, a citation rate, 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.

Do I need to upload my paper, and do you keep it?

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.

What's the difference between this and the full AI Review?

This page is a fast pre-check (15 credits): tier verdict, detected field, ranked journals, and a prior-publication scan from your title and abstract. AI Review is the full report — 9 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.

Which journals are included — only high-impact ones?

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.

Duplicate Publication Checker

You're in the right place. Paste your title and abstract and this check scans CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, Europe PMC and Unpaywall, plus our 7.9M-paper library, for prior publication and duplicate submission — with a confidence score and the matching title/DOI for each hit. The same pass also returns your acceptance-probability tier, detected field, target journals, and the topics your abstract matched. Create a free account to run it — 25 credits to start, each run costs 15 credits.
