search_in_journal_list
Filter academic papers to those published in prestigious journal or conference lists (UTD24, FT50, AJG 4*, etc.) for high-quality, credibility-gated searches. Combine with institutional filters for targeted results.
Instructions
Search for papers in a named list of top journals or conferences (preset) rather than specifying individual venues. This is the main tool for credibility-gated searches. Examples: search in UTD24 journals, FT50, AJG 4*, top AI conferences. Combine with author_institution or institution_group to answer questions like "AI papers in top AI conferences by Harvard/Stanford/MIT authors".
