Eigenfactorizer

Color codes journals in PubMed according to their Eigenfactor Article Influence score (a measure of journal impact).

Eigenfactorizer: Journal Impact Tool on PubMed

Eigenfactorizer is a free Chrome extension that helps users filter content by color-coding journals in PubMed according to their impact measured by the Eigenfactor Score. Developed by Geoff Davis, Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom, this tool will soon be extended to individual articles. It uses a vast database of more than 16 million citations to provide a reliable influence score of the content. Notably, user's search results are not collected, ensuring privacy.

DO NOT BOTHER TO INSTALL Such a great idea (the idea alone is worth 3 stars)! Now if someone could update it for the modern version of PubMed, that would be wonderful. For now, it's just a relic of a bygone age.
