# Journal Recommender

Recommend journals for a manuscript by combining abstract-based fit, current journal metadata, official Aims & Scope evidence, and publication-risk checks. Use Chinese for explanations unless the user requests otherwise; keep journal names in their official English form.

## Core Workflow

1. Read the abstract and identify the main discipline, optional secondary disciplines, research type, and 3-5 English keywords.
2. Make a **submission strategy estimate**, not a quality verdict: infer a tentative baseline CAS tier from abstract signals and ask the user to correct it if needed.
3. Stop before web search and ask for submission preferences unless the user already supplied them or explicitly says to use defaults.
4. Collect current journal data from available web/search/page-fetch tools. Do not rely on memory for IF, CAS/JCR tiers, APCs, review time, indexing, warning-list status, or URLs.
5. Build a challenge/target/safety pool:
   - `challenge`: one tier above the baseline, or field flagship journals when baseline is already CAS 1.
   - `target`: the baseline tier and strongest scope match.
   - `safety`: one tier below the baseline, prioritizing fit and lower practical risk.
6. Score candidates with evidence from LetPub or equivalent journal pages, official publisher pages, and Aims & Scope text.

M91 Alerting

MSG91/m91-skill

How software or AI reaches a human when it needs one and gets the answer back. Use it wherever a program needs a person to decide, approve, answer, verify, take over, act physically or simply know, and also for alerting, on-call, paging, escalation and failure handling. Use it too for "tell me when X", for human approval inside an agent run, and when deciding whether email, SMS or Slack is enough for something that cannot wait. An M91 alert rings every phone in a channel at full volume, through silent mode and Do Not Disturb, repeats until somebody answers, escalates to a phone call and return
