A web app that matches a draft abstract to open access journals is live and working: it compares a user abstract against about 5600 DOAJ journals (limited to ~100 recent abstracts per title), scores similarity using spacy word vectors, and performs thousands of parallel comparisons via Google Cloud Functions with a Flask front end. Results return the top five recommendations; accuracy is reasonable, multilingual coverage is limited, and ethical and metadata-quality caveats apply.
