The system balances manuscript fit, editorial pressure, and metadata quality.
Workflow
Match
Turn manuscript signals into a defensible journal route.
RankingFilteringRoute lanes
Users can stay hard-filtered or open wider exploratory lanes.
Operational signals stay visible before the user locks a target.
Purpose
Match is where Frame does the heavy routing work. It reduces noise, compares candidates, and turns a large search space into a shortlist.
What the user checks
The user inspects quartile source, indexing, OA model, APC, route lane, trust tier, and compare state before choosing a target.
Why it matters
Submission strategy fails when ranking is opaque. This stage keeps the shortlist explainable and editable.
