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.

Really helpful! Will you be updating the VHB Rankings as there is a new version that recently came out? How will you deal with the partial (topic-specific) ratings they provide if a journal has different ratings in different research areas?
