How is this score calculated?
The Research Fit score blends four signals with fixed weights:
- Topic & scope match — 55%. How closely your abstract's language overlaps with the journal's topic profile (OpenAlex CC0 data).
- Field alignment — 15%. Whether the journal's published field matches the field inferred from your abstract.
- DOAJ preference — 10%. Whether the journal meets your DOAJ indexing preference. Neutral when no preference is set.
- Cost preference — 20%. How closely the APC fits your stated budget. Neutral when no preference is set.
For this result specifically:
- Strong topic match to your abstract
- Published field matches: Medicine
Scores are relative to the strongest match for your abstract — best used to compare journals within this result, not as absolute probabilities.
This is a recommendation signal, not an acceptance probability, a publication guarantee, or a quality ranking.

Thank you for your feedback.
What this does and does not tell you
- Match percentages come from comparing your text against each journal's real published-article topics (OpenAlex data) — the same engine behind the journal matcher.
- Field alignment, APC, DOAJ status and h-index are drawn from this site's own verified journal records.
- We do not hold per-journal PubMed/Scopus/Web of Science indexing flags or article-type acceptance data, so those are never scored or implied here — only DOAJ status is checked.
- This is not an acceptance probability, and it is not a quality ranking. See methodology.
