Rapid Quality Check for Academic Journals in Google Scholar Search Results

This Chrome extension displays an academic journal's (and some conference's) rankings next to search results from Google Scholar. This also works for scholar profile pages on Google Scholar and other subpages (e.g. cited by, etc.).

A variety of rankings are available for the user to choose from (SJR, ABDC, ABS, VHB, FT50, CORE, ...). These are interdisciplinary (e.g., SJR, BFI), focused on economics/social sciences (e.g., ABDC, VHB, ...), or focused on computer science journals/conferences (CORE, CCF).

Hovering your cursor over the ranking gives you additional information such as the name of the journal and its h-index. Clicking on the "+" (if available) gives you additional rankings; those that you have not pre-selected.

Via the extension's icon (which you can pin) you can also access a search bar to enter a journal name and get the ranking.

Displays academic journal and conference quality rankings (SJR, ABDC, ABS, VHB, FT50, CORE, CCF, etc.) alongside Google Scholar search results

Researchers and academics need to quickly assess the quality/prestige of journals and conferences when browsing Google Scholar. Without this extension, they must manually look up rankings on separate websites (Scimago, ABDC, CORE, etc.), which is time-consuming and disrupts the research workflow.

User installs extension → configures which rankings to display in settings/popup → browses Google Scholar as normal → extension content script automatically injects ranking badges next to each search result → user hovers over badges for h-index and journal name details → user clicks badge to follow DOI link for verification. Optional: user can use the popup search bar to look up any journal name directly.

Target users: Academic researchers evaluating journal quality for publication decisions / PhD students and early-career researchers assessing venues for submissions / Computer scientists checking CORE/CCF conference rankings / Business and economics researchers using ABDC, VHB, AJG/ABS rankings / Bibliometricians and research evaluators

popup.js is 3.6MB and mostly contains embedded ranking data - could not fully scan all code logic
Could not verify if dblp.org API requires any authentication (appears to use public API without keys)

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension is completely free and open-source (MIT License). No payment infrastructure, premium tiers, subscription logic, billing APIs, or upgrade prompts exist anywhere in the codebase. All ranking types (SJR, ABDC, ABS, VHB, FT50, CORE, CCF, CNRS, FNEGE, HCERES, BFI) are available to all users without restriction. The 'pro' and 'license' keyword matches were false positives from Font Awesome license text and data files containing conference/journal names with 'pro' as substring.

Confidence: 98
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: No
Reason: The extension requires no login to use. The heuristic-detected 'sign in' match was a false positive from data files (e.g., Acro.txt conference names containing 'sign in' as a substring, not actual login functionality). The extension uses chrome.storage.sync for local settings only, operates directly on Google Scholar pages, and has no authentication flow, account creation, or credential collection. All functionality (ranking display, popup search, settings) is available immediately after installation.
