README.md

The Open Journal Matcher was taken offline in July 2022. If you're wondering why, you can see this blog post.

A journal recommender tool built on the Directory of Open Access Journals

Screenshot of the application

This application suggests open access journals based on their similarity to a draft abstract submitted by the user. It is meant for authors who are trying to discover suitable target journals for their work. The results are meant to be serendipitous; the goal is to uncover unexpected but relevant journals.

The application is built with Flask, combined with "serverless" infrastructure for data analysis. The Flask application calls a Google Cloud Function asynchronously. Most of the computationally intensive work is done by the Cloud Function. Specifically, the Cloud Function does similarity calculations using spaCy and returns a similarity score for each potential target journal.
