From a journal search to a record you can verify.
The process is simple: find the journal, check the evidence, read the calculation, and preserve the result if it is useful to you.
Find the journal
Search by name or ISSN. We retrieve the journal details and publication history from OpenAlex.
Read the evidence
Review the journal information before continuing. Missing information is shown as unavailable rather than guessed.
Understand the score
The score compares the journal with reference journals in the same field and explains every contributing factor.
Preserve the snapshot
When you choose to preserve it, the journal data and score are saved as a content-addressed record on IPFS through Pinata.
Five signals, one readable result.
Each signal is converted into a position among similar journals. Stronger results receive more points, then the points are added using fixed weights. This makes the result easier to explain than a hidden formula.
Citation impact. How often recent articles are cited compared with the field.
Scholarly influence. The journal's long-term h-index compared with the field.
Research output. The number of works recorded in OpenAlex.
Citation efficiency. Citations per published work, so volume is not the only signal.
Publication consistency. How regularly the journal has published across available years.
How fair is it?
Journals are compared mainly with peers in the same field. The interface also shows how many reference journals were available and labels confidence when that group is small.
What does preserved mean?
Preservation creates a fixed JSON snapshot. The record ID is based on its content, and the IPFS link lets anyone inspect the same snapshot later.
