Publishing an academic paper in developing world is a major  challenge  in  the  circle  of  academia  and researchers,  especially  finding  right  journal  to show case ones  research work results.To  the  best  of  our  knowledge,  this  academic publication  recommendation  tool  is  the  first Recommender  System in  Sub-Sahara Africa  to guide researcher  on  where  to  publish  their  manuscripts.Studies  have  shown  that  academia  are  finding  it difficult  to  locate  the  suitable  journals,  where  to publish their manuscripts, hence the development of a recommender system to suggest where lecturers and other researchers can publish their research works.There  are  numbers  of  recommender  systems  that suggest  similar  functions  as  ours  but  they  are  only focusing on recommending papers for researchers to use as references or citation for their work but lack the capability of recommending journals or conferences to publish the research works.One  of  the  limitations  of  our  work  is  journals  or conferences locations, the geographical location may be a bane for the researchers who want to publish in such journals or even attending such conferences.Impact Factor (IF)  and openness  of  journals are considered in developing this tool.
