## When to Use

- You have a manuscript title/abstract and need a shortlist of suitable journals to submit to.
- You want evidence-based journal matching using **similar PubMed literature** and journal distribution statistics.
- You need to compare candidate journals by **scope fit**, **open access requirements**, and **review/publication timelines**.
- You must provide a clear **matching rationale** (why each journal fits) for internal review or co-author alignment.
- You are planning a **submission strategy** (primary target + backups) and want to highlight risks and alternatives.

## Key Features

- Topic- and abstract-driven journal recommendation workflow.
- PubMed-based similar literature search and **journal frequency distribution** compilation.
