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.

It's helpful for searching qualified journal while writing academic and scientific articles, make it faster and easier

I think the databases need to updated, particularly the www.scimagojr.com. Also, good to include Web of Science indexing.

As a dedicated researcher, I've always sought tools that enhance efficiency and provide valuable insights into academic journal quality. The Rapid Journal Quality Check App has truly been a game-changer for me. The seamless integration with Google Scholar is a feature I never knew I needed until now. It effortlessly displays journal rankings and h-index right next to my search results, saving me the time and effort of navigating through various sources. This has significantly streamlined my research process. What sets this app apart is its flexibility. With a diverse range of rankings to choose from, catering to different disciplines like economics, social sciences, and computer science, it caters to the varied needs of researchers across fields. The extension's functionality extends beyond just search results – it's equally handy on scholar profile pages and subpages like "cited by." This level of accessibility has truly empowered my decision-making process. In a world where time is of the essence, the Rapid Journal Quality Check App has become an indispensable tool in my research toolkit. If you're a researcher looking to elevate your workflow and make more informed decisions about academic journals, this app is a must-have. Kudos to the developers for creating a tool that understands the needs of the research community and addresses them with such finesse. Highly recommended!

Dear how can i add it to view on mobile (iOS or Others)?

Ubaid Ali2023年12月8日

Sometimes confuse a journal with another one. For example a paper by an author in "Journal of islamic banking and finance" is assingned the ranking of "Economic modelling" or a paper in Pakistan social and economic reviw is ranked as European economic review. Do anyone have the idea how it can be fixed? Thanks

kamrul hassan2023年12月4日

This tool proves exceptionally valuable for early-stage researchers, particularly those encountering challenges in finding reputed journals for their work.

Jonas Heller2023年11月24日

Great tool, it would be perfect if one could add their own rankings based on a simple .txt or .csv file.

Cleopatra Veloutsou2023年11月19日

This is indeed super, especially for a quick check on sources one is not familiar with!! It saves tones of time!

Shirley Tom2023年8月19日

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.
