Google Scholar Venue Ranker (GSVR)

Google Scholar Venue Ranker (GSVR) is an open-source Chrome extension that adds conference and journal ranking context directly to Google Scholar profile pages. Google Scholar is excellent for browsing publications, but it does not make venue quality easy to inspect. This is especially important in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, and related conference-driven fields, where the publication venue often provides useful context for evaluating research contributions. GSVR overlays easy-to-read ranking badges beside publications on a Scholar profile. For conference papers, it shows historical CORE conference ranks such as A*, A, B, and C, selecting the appropriate ranking snapshot by publication year. For journal papers, it shows SCImago Journal Rank quartiles such as Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. Unlike simple text-matching tools, GSVR uses a conservative DBLP-backed ranking pipeline to help identify venues more reliably instead of relying only on editable Google Scholar venue text. Ambiguous, missing, workshop, demo, poster, and short-paper cases are handled carefully to avoid showing misleading ranks. The extension also includes a Research Quality Score panel, a compact Venue Ranker sidebar, interactive filters, local venue lookup through Venue Explorer, and export options for PDF summaries, full audit reports, HTML, and CSV files. GSVR is designed for researchers, students, reviewers, hiring committees, and academic evaluators who want faster, clearer, and more transparent venue-ranking context while reviewing Google Scholar profiles.
