Publication Recommendations of Manuscripts Using Improved C4.5 Decision Tree Algorithm

In view of the problem that the result accuracy of the research publication recommendations of manuscripts is often low. It is very difficult for many contributors to find the suitable journals from many recommendation results. To solve this problem, a novel method of publication recommendations for authors’ manuscripts is proposed using our improved C4.5 decision tree algorithm. For the shortcomings of too many values of data samples during dealing with the traditional C4.5 methods, the five-value logic ideas are adopted to improve this C4.5 algorithm to apply in the research fields of publication recommendations. The experimental results show that the related publications are easier to obtain for authors via the decision trees with the improved C4.5 method than before, and this method has higher accuracy than ever. It is of great significance to help the researchers, especially for those who have no enough experience to choose the most suitable journals from a lot of publications.
