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

explore-journal-scope 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Explore Journal Scope

Systematically gather and document a journal's scope, aims, and acceptance criteria.

Search Strategy

  1. Search for "<journal name> aims and scope"
  2. Search for "<journal name> author guidelines"
  3. Search for "<journal name> acceptance criteria"
  4. Fetch the official journal website's scope/aims page
  5. Cross-reference with any supplementary scope documents

Information to Extract

  • Mission statement and editorial focus
  • Subject areas and domains covered
  • Types of contributions accepted (original research, reviews, case studies, letters, etc.)
  • Target audience description
  • Topics explicitly in scope and out of scope
  • Acceptance criteria or editorial priorities
  • Any special sections or calls for papers

Quality Checks

  • Verify information comes from the official journal website
  • Note when information is unavailable or ambiguous
  • Cross-check scope statements across multiple pages for consistency

Output Location

Save to context/<journal-slug>/scope-and-criteria.md (cache) AND <report-directory>/01-scope-and-criteria.md (session artifact)

Changes

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.
