What if your editors could identify strong-fit manuscripts in seconds?

At @stmassoc.bsky.social Innovation Day this week, we showed how Journal Fit scores manuscripts across novelty, scope, rigor & impact - helping editors spot high potential papers and misaligned submissions instantly. #STMLondon

📣 Journal Fit is here!
Instant manuscript fit scores so editors spend more time on high potential papers & less on ones that are off-scope.

Every submission gets scored across Novelty, Scope Relevance, Rigor & Impact. Demo @ STM London next week!

Most publishers guess what resonates with authors.
Karger's team used behavioral data to know—then optimized relentlessly.

The result? 4.5X ROI, 3X higher CTRs, and 1,100+ manuscript submissions directly influenced.

Everyone is racing to add flashy AI to their publishing stack. But if you skipped the foundation work, you're building your house on sand.

Taxonomy isn't sexy, but it powers your shinier AI features and makes them most effective.

Readers don't browse anymore. They interrogate.

"What's the latest guidance?"
"Which methodology should I use?"
"How does this affect my work?"

If your content isn't answer-ready, it's invisible—to AI systems & to readers.
