CompassAI, from Cabells, recommends journals from a submitted abstract: it builds a semantic profile of the research and matches it against Cabells Journalytics, a curated database of verified journals. Results come grouped into strategic categories — best matches, value-focused options, premium outlets — with explanations.
Benefits & outcomes
Recommendations drawn only from a vetted database, which limits exposure to predatory journals.
Strategic grouping supports actual submission decisions, not just a ranked list.
Publisher-agnostic, unlike most journal finders.
Notes & quotes
“I fed the abstract into Compass AI out of curiosity, and the two lists almost perfectly aligned. The results were logical, clear, and clean… Compass AI is probably the first (and only, so far) automated journal suggestion tool that I think is worth its salt. Well done, Cabells!” — Erin Owens, Scholarly Communications Librarian, Sam Houston State University
