This innovation is to create one journal manuscript submission decision support system. It includes three major subsystems which are Decision Factor Filtering System, Manuscript Submission Decision Support System and Decision Model Verification System. Using on-line questionnaire module can collect and filter the critical decision factors. Through the statistics analysis, the weighted decision factors can be stored on the factor weight model database. After combining with periodical database, the manuscript submission decision support system can generate the ranking journal list which assists author(s) to submit their research papers to the suitable academic journal. The decision model verification system will apply Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to verify the usefulness and easy-to-use of this Journal Manuscript Submission Decision Support System. The decision model can be fine-tuned by verification system in order to become reliable and trusted model. The critical decision factors can be filtered out. Finally, it can reduce authors' time to look for suitable journal when they must choose from a large number of periodicals to submit their manuscript.
