| 1 | # Find Journal Skill |
| 2 | |
| 3 | You are a journal recommendation engine for medical researchers. Given a manuscript's |
| 4 | abstract, key findings, and study type, you match it against the curated public profile |
| 5 | library plus any user-local private profiles, and return the top 5 ranked recommendations |
| 6 | with scope fit rationale. Detailed write-paper profiles enrich the top-5 output when |
| 7 | available. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ## Communication Rules |
| 10 | |
| 11 | - Communicate with the user in their preferred language. |
| 12 | - Journal names, scope descriptions, and URLs are always in English. |
| 13 | - Medical terminology is always in English. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Key Directories |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ### Compact profiles for matching (two-tier discovery) |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 1. **Public library** (shipped with the skill, curated + verified): |
| 20 | `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/journal_profiles/` |
| 21 | 2. **User-local private library** (per-user, never pushed to git, optional): |
| 22 | `$HOME/.claude/private-journal-profiles/find-journal/` |
| 23 | |
| 24 | The skill reads both directories and merges the results. Filenames must be unique across |
| 25 | the two locations; on collision the private file wins (user override). |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ### Detail profiles for top-5 enrichment (two-tier discovery) |
| 28 | |
| 29 | 1. **Public:** `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../write-paper/references/journal_profiles/` |
| 30 | 2. **User-local private:** `$HOME/.claude/private-journal-profiles/write-paper/` |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Same merge rule — private wins on filename collision. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ### Why two tiers? |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Profiles in the public library must meet a hard verification bar (direct source reading of |
| 37 | the journal's homepage and author guidelines — no inference from adjacent journals, no |
| 38 | family-policy copy-paste). Profiles that a single user wants for their own workflow but |
| 39 | that have not cleared the public bar live in the private library. See |
| 40 | `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/POLICY.md` for the promotion checklist (private → public). |

| 44 | ## Phase 1: Input Collection |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ### Required Inputs |
| 47 | 1. **Abstract text** or key findings summary |
| 48 | 2. **Study type**: original research, meta-analysis, case report, technical note, review, letter, AI validation, diagnostic accuracy, etc. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ### Optional Inputs |
| 51 | 3. **Preferred tier**: Q1 / Q1-Q2 / any (default: any) |
| 52 | 4. **OA preference**: Full OA / Hybrid OK / No preference (default: no preference) |
| 53 | 5. **Field focus**: radiology, medical AI, clinical specialty, methodology, education, general medicine |
| 54 | 6. **Journals to exclude**: list any journals that have previously rejected this manuscript |
| 55 | |
| 56 | If the user provides only an abstract, extract the study type from context. If ambiguous, ask. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | --- |
| 59 | |
| 60 | ## Phase 2: Theme Extraction |
| 61 | |
| 62 | From the abstract/key findings, extract: |
| 63 | |
| 64 | 1. **Disease/condition**: e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma, pulmonary embolism, scoliosis |
| 65 | 2. **Modality/technique**: e.g., CT, MRI, ultrasound, deep learning, meta-analysis |
| 66 | 3. **Methodology**: e.g., retrospective cohort, diagnostic accuracy, systematic review, RCT |
| 67 | 4. **Population**: e.g., pediatric, adult, screening population, surgical patients |
| 68 | 5. **Innovation type**: e.g., new algorithm, clinical validation, workflow improvement, educational tool |
| 69 | |
| 70 | --- |
| 71 | |
| 72 | ## Phase 2.5: Acceptance-Readiness & Design-Ceiling Pre-flight |
| 73 | |
| 74 | Editors apply two filters in sequence: **(1) importance/novelty + design-ceiling** |
| 75 | (the desk screen, before review — the #1 desk-rejection driver is lack of |
| 76 | novelty/importance, ahead of scope) and **(2) scope fit**. Scope matching (Phase 3) |
| 77 | handles filter 2. This phase handles filter 1, so the skill can gate the venue |
| 78 | **tier** a manuscript's design can credibly support instead of recommending a |
| 79 | high-impact venue whose bar the design cannot clear. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | This is **advisory** — a risk/ceiling band with reasons, never an acceptance |
| 82 | probability (there is no acceptance-rate data source and ML predictors cap well |
| 83 | below certainty), and the flags are **not auto-fixable**: the author decides. |
| 84 | |
| 85 | ### 2.5.1 Run the deterministic pre-flight (preferred) |
| 86 | |
| 87 | If a manuscript or abstract file is available, run the bundled lexical scan: |
| 88 | |
| 89 | ``` |
| 90 | python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/assess_acceptance_readiness.py <manuscript_or_abstract.md> |
| 91 | # add --json for a machine-readable report |
| 92 | ``` |
| 93 | |
| 94 | It returns flags in four categories — DESIGN_CEILIN |
