1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing and using SciJournal.org (the “Site”) and its associated tools, including the AI Journal Advisor and Submission Strategist (collectively, the “Services”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our Services.
2. Description of Service
SciJournal.org provides informational data regarding scientific journals and an AI-powered advisory tool designed to assist researchers in identifying potential publication venues.
- Informational Nature: The Services are provided for general information and educational purposes only.
- AI Functionality: Our AI Advisor uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to analyze user-submitted abstracts and suggest potential journals. These suggestions are automated estimates based on patterns and public data, not official endorsements by journal editors.
3. User Conduct & Content
You are responsible for the content you submit to our AI tools (e.g., paper titles and abstracts). By using the Services, you agree that:
- Ownership: You retain full ownership of the intellectual property contained in your manuscripts and abstracts. We do not claim any copyright over the research ideas you submit for analysis.
- No Sensitive Data: You will not submit confidential, trade-secret, or personally identifiable information (PII) that you do not wish to be processed by third-party AI providers.
- Permitted Use: You will use the Services only for personal, non-commercial academic research purposes. You agree not to reverse engineer, scrape, or misuse the API to build competing services.
4. Disclaimer of Warranties (The “AI Advisor” Clause)
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL AI-GENERATED RECOMMENDATIONS, METRICS (SUCH AS “ACCEPTANCE PROBABILITY” OR “REVIEW SPEED”), AND JOURNAL DATA, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”
- No Guarantee of Acceptance: SciJournal.org does not guarantee that any journal suggested by our tool will accept your manuscript. Peer review decisions are subjective and made solely by the respective journal editors.
- Data Accuracy: While we strive for accuracy, journal metrics (Impact Factors, APCs, Review Times) change frequently. We do not warrant that the data displayed is perfectly accurate, complete, or current. Always verify submission requirements on the official journal website before submitting.
- Not Professional Advice: The AI output should be treated as a strategic suggestion, not professional or legal advice.
5. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, SciJournal.org and its operators, affiliates, and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of academic credit, rejection of manuscripts, or wasted submission fees, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Services.
6. Third-Party Links and Ads
Our Site contains links to third-party websites (e.g., journal submission pages) and advertisements served by partners like Ezoic. We do not control these external sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy policies, or practices. Your interactions with these third parties are solely between you and them.
7. Modifications to Service
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (or any part thereof) at any time with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services.
8. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Your Jurisdiction, e.g., the State of Delaware / United Kingdom], without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
