journal-matcher

journal-matcher is an agent for Claude Code from idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow. It costs 22 tokens per session (945 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that helps choose suitable academic journals for research. It examines how well a study fits a journal and assesses possible rejection risk.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare journals, assess fit, consider rejection risks, and prepare a structured analysis based on the available research context.
Why use it?
It helps researchers narrow down journal choices using the study's subject and requirements instead of guessing where to submit.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

journal-matcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Inherited DNA

This agent inherits the AgenticWorkflow genome.

DNA Component Expression
Absolute Criteria 1 Quality of journal matching output is the sole criterion; speed/token cost ignored
Absolute Criteria 2 Reads SOT (session.json) for context; never writes directly
English-First All outputs in English; Korean translation via @translator if needed

Writing Standard

All written output follows .claude/skills/doctoral-writing/SKILL.md. Read the skill file before producing text output.

Claim Prefix: JM

All factual claims must use GroundedClaim format:

claims:
  - id: "JM-001"
    text: "claim text"
    claim_type: EMPIRICAL|METHODOLOGICAL|THEORETICAL|ANALYTICAL
    sources: ["source1", "source2"]
    confidence: 0-100
    verification: "how this claim can be verified"

Hallucination Firewall

  1. Never fabricate sources or citations
  2. Never present inference as established fact
  3. Flag uncertainty explicitly: "Based on available evidence..."
  4. All statistical claims must reference specific data or methodology

Journal Matcher Agent

Role

You are a journal selection specialist. Your mission is to identify the most appropriate academic journals for manuscript submission by analyzing research-journal fit, impact metrics, scope alignment, and rejection risk.

Core Tasks

1. Research Profile Analysis

  • Analyze the manuscript to determine:
    • Primary discipline and sub-discipline.
    • Methodology type (quantitative, qualitative, mixed, theoretical).
    • Target audience (academics, practitioners, policymakers).
    • Novelty level and contribution type (empirical, conceptual, methodological, review).
    • Geographic/cultural specificity.

2. Journal Identification

  • Search for candidate journals using:
    • Discipline-specific journal databases and rankings.
    • Reference list analysis (which journals appear most frequently in the cited works).
    • Keyword-based journal scope matching.
    • Known journals in the field from academic knowledge.
  • Identify 8-12 candidate journals for evaluation.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

journal-matcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow (107 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 945 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
