Why Weave Atlas

Transparent by design
Every recommendation explains itself, and every exclusion names the preference that tripped it, so the shortlist is one you can defend.
Tuned to your priorities
Weight impact, speed, and cost. The ranking follows your priorities and rescores live as you refine them.
Part of the ecosystem
Set the winner as your Horizon project's target journal, so the decision lands where the manuscript already lives.
From manuscript to shortlist.
See how Weave Atlas works, from describing your manuscript to a ranked shortlist you can interrogate.
Describe your manuscript
Give Atlas the title and abstract. That's all it needs to start matching your work against journal scopes.
Pick your fields of study
Choose up to five MeSH terms, with suggestions as you type, so the match runs on the vocabulary your field actually uses.
Set your priorities
The right journal depends on what you value. Weight impact, time to publication, and cost, and the ranking follows.
Watch the shortlist rank live
The results panel rescores as you type: a best-match card on top, the full ranked list below, and a trade-off map plotting every match on impact versus time to decision.
Interrogate the reasoning
Open any recommendation to see why it ranks. The excluded tab groups what fell out by the preference that tripped it, so nothing disappears silently.
Set the target, keep the run
Send the chosen journal to a Horizon project as its target, and every run stays in history so you can re-run as the manuscript evolves and compare what changed.
Built to be questioned
The details that make a recommendation worth trusting.
Best-match card
The top pick up front, with the scores behind it in plain sight.
Trade-off map
Every match plotted on impact versus time to decision, so the trade-offs are visible at a glance.
Run history
Every run is saved. Pin the ones that matter, re-run as the manuscript evolves, and compare.
Straight into Horizon
Set the chosen journal as a Horizon project's target journal in one step.

Frequently asked questions
What Weave Atlas is, how the ranking works, and when you can use it.
What is Weave Atlas?
A journal recommender for neuroscientists. You describe the manuscript, pick your fields of study, and weight what matters to you: impact, time to publication, and cost. Atlas returns a ranked shortlist of journals with the reasoning behind every ranking and every exclusion.
How is Atlas different from other journal finders?
Transparency. Most finders hand you a list and stop there. Atlas shows why each journal ranks where it does, and the excluded view names the preference that removed each journal, so nothing disappears silently and the shortlist is one you can defend to your co-authors.
Is Weave Atlas free?
Yes, Atlas will be free for researchers, like Weave Stream.
When can I use it?
Atlas is in development. If your team or institution wants early access or to help shape it, reach out through the contact section below.
Does it work with the rest of Weave?
Yes. Once you settle on a journal, you can set it as the target journal on a Horizon project, so the decision lands where the manuscript is already being managed.
Is it only for neuroscience?
Atlas is built and tuned for neuroscientists: the field vocabulary and the journal matching are optimized for that domain first.
