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.

Please update the VHB rankings from end of 2024, maybe using the best ranking across all sub rankings, that is, a Journal might have 3 rankings across different sub areas, like A in finance, B in accounting and A in taxation, then just show e.g. just show the best overall ranking :-) thank you, please see for the rankings https://www.vhbonline.org/en/services/vhb-rating-2024/area-ratings
Good but some journals don't have associated Q scores, e.g. American Journal of Biological Anthropology, while others are associated with the wrong journal. Otherwise, a very useful tool.
Very useful extension and will be looking forward to further improvements! I've seen this extension claiming some papers to be associated to a journal even if it is not published on any; if you could fix it, it'd be great.
it lists cloned journals such as International insurance law review as Q1. no authenticity check.
Everything is fine, but Scopus quartiles are wrong. Kindly rectify this asap.
There is a problem with the literature search. It mapped one of my papers with another paper because there was some similar keyword in the title.

This tool is extremely helpful and fantastic. However, please update the database because there is a discrepancy in journal ranking.
Please update your database.
Undoubtedly an amazing tool to understand the quality of a journal.
