Open Access Journal Scout
Find legitimate open access journals, verify publisher credibility, and avoid predatory publication traps.
Quick Start
from scripts.oa_scout import OpenAccessScout
scout = OpenAccessScout()
# Find journals
journals = scout.find_journals(
subject="oncology",
impact_range=(2, 5),
max_apc=2000
)
Core Capabilities
1. Journal Search
results = scout.search(
keywords=["immunotherapy", "cancer"],
filters={
"indexed_in": ["PubMed", "Scopus"],
"peer_review": "double_blind",
"apc_max": 2500
}
)
2. Predatory Check
assessment = scout.assess_journal("Journal of Medical Advances")
print(f"Trust score: {assessment.score}/100")
print(f"Red flags: {assessment.red_flags}")
Warning Signs:
- No clear editorial board
- Rapid review promises (<2 weeks)
- Excessive APCs (>$3000)
- Not indexed in major databases
- Spam email invitations
3. APC Comparison
comparison = scout.compare_apc(
journals=["Journal A", "Journal B"],
currency="USD"
)
CLI Usage
python scripts/oa_scout.py --search "oncology immunotherapy" --max-apc 2000
