rt-venue-integrity
Use before submitting to a venue this repository does not cover, one that arrived by email solicitation, or one whose indexing status matters for a tenure or degree requirement. Runs a source-by-source verification protocol — indexing, publisher, editorial board, fees, retraction history — and reports what each primary source says. It never labels a journal; it reports checks.

# Venue Integrity Check (rt-venue-integrity)
The 743 venues in
[`shared-resources/journal-selection/venue-index.tsv`](../../../shared-resources/journal-selection/venue-index.tsv)
were each curated into this repository from their own published guidance, so a venue
being in the index is at least evidence that someone looked. The moment an author steps
outside it — and
[`journal-match.md`](../../../shared-resources/journal-selection/journal-match.md)'s
coverage-honesty rule requires saying so rather than forcing a poor fit — this
repository has nothing to offer, and that is exactly the moment the risk appears: a
solicitation email, a plausible-looking title, an APC, and a paper that becomes
uncitable and cannot be resubmitted elsewhere.
This is the check to run before that submission.
