Use when choosing where to submit a manuscript. Matches the abstract against curated journal profiles and returns ranked picks with scope fit, AI-disclosure policy, an acceptance-readiness pre-flight and a reject-fallback cascade. Impact and APC figures may be stale.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Find Journal Skill

## Phase 1: Input Collection

### Required Inputs
1. **Abstract text** or key findings summary
2. **Study type**: original research, meta-analysis, case report, technical note, review, letter, AI validation, diagnostic accuracy, etc.

### Optional Inputs
3. **Preferred tier**: Q1 / Q1-Q2 / any (default: any)
4. **OA preference**: Full OA / Hybrid OK / No preference (default: no preference)
5. **Field focus**: radiology, medical AI, clinical specialty, methodology, education, general medicine
6. **Journals to exclude**: journals that have already rejected this manuscript

If only an abstract is given, infer the study type from it. When called from `/write-paper` or
another skill, take the abstract and study type from the calling context and skip these questions.

---

## Phase 2: Theme Extraction

From the abstract or key findings, extract: disease/condition; modality/technique; methodology
(e.g., retrospective cohort, diagnostic accuracy, systematic review, RCT); population; and
innovation type (new algorithm, clinical validation, workflow improvement, educational tool).

## Phase 2.5: Acceptance-Readiness & Design-Ceiling Pre-flight

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/find-journal@sha256:f4b4e02ee78b4d9b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.f48535d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
