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.
