Journal Submission Assistant

Problem

Submitting a paper to the right journal usually means checking journal level, submission email, review cycle, columns, and recent topical preferences, then rewriting a cover email for each target. journal-submission turns that repetitive research step into a structured workflow: extract the paper's field and keywords, search candidate journals, and generate a submission guide plus tailored email drafts. It fits Chinese academic journal preparation, especially for CSSCI-level or core journals.

How It Works

The skill runs in four phases:

• Information capture: derive the research area, 3-5 core keywords, and the paper's main contribution from the title, abstract, or full text; ask for title and abstract if missing.
• Journal research: search combinations such as field + CSSCI + submission email + official website, then confirm each journal's scope, call for papers, and fee policy.
• Email drafting: keep each email under 300 words, use the subject pattern Submission | Paper Title, and adjust emphasis for theory, industry, technology, or policy-oriented journals.
• Output: produce a Markdown guide with a journal table, preference notes, recipient emails, email bodies, and a ranked recommendation list.

Boundaries

The output is research material and drafts, not a final decision on academic fit or submission compliance. Verify emails from official sources, keep author details as placeholders, confirm before sending, and avoid submitting the same paper to multiple journals at once; choose one or two priority targets.
