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.

wonderful tool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A useful tool for quickly assessing journal quality while exploring research papers. However, the quality index lists need more frequent updates, as many seem outdated. Developers are encouraged to incorporate the latest sources, and I am happy to assist with authentic references of journal quality lists, if needed.
It is the perfect extension for scholars who want to improve their knowledge of the Journal's quality. A small request for the team is to update the AJG 2024!
just today I got a reading error, the article should not be in Q2 because the journal is "Jurnal Bisnis dan Pembangunan" but when I looked at the Q2 icon, it turned out to read the journal "economica" which is a local sub-journal, the article was incorrectly ranked Scopus by RJQC
One of the best extensions ever known to man. Keep the hard work guys, it helps a lot.
The study link is not activated in addition to the summary, Please keep updating the database. We don't have to see journal quality lists back and forth saving us a lot of time. Thank you team.
Please keep updating the database. We don't have to see journal quality lists back and forth saving us a lot of time. Thank you team.
Firstly, hats off to the developers for such an useful tool. secondly please update the rankings from time to time, for example for the journal "Management review quarterly" ABDC shows "NA", but in real, it is ranked "C". Thanks in advance, I hope these changes are made for the improvement of this "supertool".
Thank you, you saved me
It is good idea. Very helpful. However there are small challanges such as in case of "Economic and Political Weekly" B on ABDC but is not listed. The link on EPW would lend at Higher Education Abstract(https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/hea.12103_23).
