Add-on summary

This Firefox 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(3/4), ...), or focused on computer science journals/conferences (CORE, CCF).

This extension includes the VHB Jourqual 4 MARK and NAMA partial ratings.

This extension builds on the Chrome / Edge version of Dr. Julian Wichmann and is mainly a port to firefox while adding VHB Jourqual4 rankings for MARK and NAMA. For Dr. Wichmann's version see: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rapid-journal-quality-che/mfkbhgdamgfcifnhcdebfahkgnbkagmo
