Australian_ABCD_journals

Displays official ABDC Journal Quality List (2025) ratings directly on Google Scholar search results. Effortlessly evaluate research quality while browsing Google Scholar. This lightweight extension automatically identifies journal venues in your search results and injects clean, color-coded ABDC tier badges (A*, A, B, C) right next to each publication. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ KEY FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Inline Tier Badges & Visual Tints Get immediate clarity at a glance. Search results are tagged with clean badges indicating their ABDC rating, paired with subtle sidebar tints so you can scan high-impact literature instantly. ◆ Result Page Summary & Instant Filtering A dynamic summary bar appears at the top of your Google Scholar search results showing the exact count of A*, A, B, C, and unrated papers. Click any tier button to filter the view down to specific rankings (e.g., show only A* and A). ◆ Detailed Metadata on Hover Hover over any badge to view the full matched journal title, verified publisher, and ISSNs directly from the ABDC master list. ◆ Fast, Offline & Privacy-First The entire ABDC 2025 dataset (2,649 rated journals) runs locally on your machine. Zero tracking, zero external API calls, and no browsing history leaves your device. ◆ Smart, Conservative Matching Engine Prevents false positives through strict matching rules: • Exact Matching: Never shortens non-matching names to force a match. • Ambiguity Handling: If Scholar truncates a journal name, a rating only displays if all potential candidates share the exact same tier (flagged with a "?" tooltip). • Dual Layout Support: Accurately parses both narrow and wide Google Scholar citation bylines. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DATA & COVERAGE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Powered by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List 2025 (2,649 business & economics journals): • A* (Top tier / Premier) • A (High quality) • B (Well-regarded) • C (Recognized standard) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ DISCLAIMER ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is an independent open-source/community tool and is not officially affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google or the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC).
