N2 - Deciding the appropriateness of a manuscript to the aims and scope of a journal is very important in the first stage of peer review. Editors should be confident about the article’s suitability to the intended journal to further channel its progress through the steps in the review process. However, not all sections in a research article are equally contributory or essential to determine its aptness to the journal under consideration. Here in this work, we investigate which sections in a manuscript are more significant to decide on its belongingness to the intended journal’s scope. Our empirical studies on two Computer Science journals suggest that the meta information from bibliography and author profiles can reach a competitive benchmark to full-text performance. The features we develop in this study display the potential to evolve as a decision support system for the journal editors to identify out-of-scope submissions.
