rt-journal-match
Use when an author asks "which journal should I send this to?" or needs the best resubmission target after a reject. Profiles the paper, shortlists candidates from an index of 743 venues with tools/match_venues.py, and ranks them into reach / match / safe with a resubmission ladder. Reads live venue facts from each pack's source-map; defers fit judgment to the venue's own topic-selection skill.

# Journal-Match (rt-journal-match)
The missing front-door question — *which venue?* — across the whole repository. Full
methodology + the stable venue index live in
[`shared-resources/journal-selection/journal-match.md`](../../../shared-resources/journal-selection/journal-match.md)
and [`venue-index.tsv`](../../../shared-resources/journal-selection/venue-index.tsv).
Worked end to end, with real output:
[`worked-example.md`](../../../shared-resources/journal-selection/worked-example.md).
## When to trigger
- The author has a result/draft and no settled target.
- A paper was rejected and needs the best next venue.
