Description from store The ExCITATION extension is a tool for academics, scientists, PhD students, and researchers overall to speed up their literature search in Google Scholar database. 1) Journal rankings: SJR (2024), ABS (2024) and ABDC (2022) SCImago Journal & Country Rank includes 34000+ journals in various disciplines from the Scopus® database (Elsevier B.V.) - color-coded quarters: from Q1 top 25%, to Q4 bottom 25% - Journal Rank indicator. It is a measure of journal's impact, influence or prestige. It expresses the average number of weighted citations received in the selected year by the documents published in the journal in the three previous years - publisher/journal’s country http://www.scimagojr.com 2) Sorting - Sort by SJR journal impact factor - Sort by most cited Currently it sorts by citation number only within one page of search results. 3) One-click paper abstract preview Support us to develop further features, e.g., other journal rankings, predatory journal warnings, CSV export, sorting within more pages and much more. CHANGELOG: 1.2.6: fix for Measurement journal 1.2.4: on scholar page - added absolute number near percentage 1.2.3: updated SCImago to 2024 1.2.2.1: bring back SJR rank to immediate view as asked by users 1.2.2: updated ABS to 2024; added ABDC 1.2.0: improved journal matching with queries to crossref API 1.1.0: added ABS; updated SCImago to 2023 1.0.4: updated SCImago to 2022 1.0.3: added "Journals' ratings on scholar's page"; added "Highlights predatory journals" (PRO version) DATA ACCESS PERMISSIONS: Why does this extension request access to all sites? To support the abstract preview feature, the extension fetches article metadata from external websites when you click the preview icon—these can be hosted on any domain. We also query api.crossref.org to retrieve missing journal information. If you prefer, you can limit access to just: https://scholar.google.com/* https://api.crossref.org/* The extension will still work, but without abstract previews feature.

(2025-06-26) Daniel Naskevic: Please add the VHB rating: https://www.vhbonline.org/services/vhb-rating-2024/teilratings
(2025-06-18) Safwan bin Sajjad: Overall, it's helpful. Sometimes, it shows wrong ranking in respect of SJR, ABS Ranking
(2025-06-15) Milena Nair: ExCITATION is a very practical tool both for us students and researchers when writing an article or working on a dissertation. I found it very helpful and easy to use. Adding as an extension made it even more easier to use and it saved time. Thanks!
(2025-06-11) Nasim Rahmani: A clean, fast, and handy tool for researchers. Thanks to the developer for building something so useful.
(2025-06-09) Gülden Birol: Great, Useful..
(2025-06-07) Pranav Shankar: Quite a useful tool for students
(2025-05-28) Laxmidhar Senapati: instead of percentage write number. or both
(2025-05-19) Aylin Saral: very useful
(2025-05-18) Sofiane Boudalia: Very useful 👍🏾
(2025-05-17) Guilherme D. Garcia: This is a great extension for sure. It would be nice if QX percentages were only based on papers. In other words, for books, proceedings, and other types of publications that are not categorized in QXs, instead of NAs, they would simply not be counted. A true NA should be a paper in a journal (i.e., a type of publication that is subject to QXs) that is *not* classified at any Q. Otherwise, people with proceedings, software libraries, etc., end up with a lot of NAs. Take someone with 5 Q1 papers and 25 proceedings/books/libraries/others. This person would have ~15% Q1 publications, which may imply that 85% of their papers were published at minor journals, when in fact 100% of the person's articles were Q1.
(2025-05-16) K. V V SIVA PRASAD: this is excelenrt feature
(2025-05-10) Luciano Floridi: excellent
(2025-04-25) Hugo Morão: Great
(2025-04-23) Linh Lido: SJR 2024 has been released, please kindly update. Thank you so much for this helpful tool!
(2025-04-16) Ahmed BABAADDOUN: Very practical and interesting tool, where you can find what you look for easily with high pertinence
(2025-04-08) Navid Nobani: Incredibly good!
(2025-04-08) manish kumar: A very useful tool for academic research. Please add impact factor in this list.
(2025-04-03) Tobiloba Akinfe: Amazing tool and it's super easy to add as an extension
(2025-03-30) Ahmadreza Karami: This extension is super useful. There is room for improvement but as of now, it simplifies searching for research papers by a lot.
(2025-03-05) Erdem Akagündüz: Very useful. I wish it displayed "total author-normalized citations" for a Google Scholar page. Instead of simply summing the total citations, it would divide the citations for each paper by the number of authors before summing them. Hopefully, someone sees this.
(2025-02-24) Prof. Basavaraj Kashappanavar: It's a great tool, but it has disadvantages. If journals are continued with different names, the Quartile should remain the same, and NA should not be displayed. For example: Superlattices and Microstructures, Elsevier old name it is continued as Micro and Nanostructures, Elsevier as new name. If the journal is continued the Quartile remain same.
(2024-12-10) Việt Dũng Phạm: Great tool, but seems a little slow since it only checks each Google Scholar entry one by one. Is there any plan to support conferences based on ranking like CORE?
(2024-11-01) Dimitris Petrakis: Very simple to use and very useful too!
(2024-10-31) Korina-Konstantina Drakaki: A very useful tool for academic research, taking Google Scholar interface to a step further!
(2024-10-24) Akhil PS: Very useful
(2024-10-16) Ahmad Aljarah: ExCitation is a fantastic tool!
(2024-10-11) Dr. Syed Naeem Ahmed: ExCITATION is a fantastic resource for accessing quality material and journals, with regular updates. However, it's crucial to also incorporate patents. I've personally added my UK-registered patent design to my Google Scholar account, but it's currently showing as 'NA.' This personal experience underscores the need to include patents, which represent a significantly higher level of scholarly activity than publishing in a Q1 category journal.
(2024-10-05) Fahad Ali: Its great. Can I see ABDC rank as well?
(2024-08-15) Manu Burkart: Almost no more journal rankings after the update and the design is worse, not better. I preferred the old version.
(2024-05-26) Safwan Al-Selwi (Saf1): "Journal of Advanced Research in Applied Sciences and Engineering Technology" is a Q2 journal index by Scopus. Currently your extension shows it as N/A.
(2024-04-23) Osarodion Ogiemwonyi: "I have noticed that some of my papers in Google Scholar published in "Environmental Technology & Innovation" and "Environmental & Sustainability Indicators" are not showing up in ExCITATION, even though these papers are indexed in Scopus, WoS, and Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR). This is surprising and I am wondering why they are being missed by ExCITATION." https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=j0M-_0sAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao
(2024-03-04) Kaela Griswold: I've been using ExCITATION for nearly 7 months and as a Masters student, I have found it extremely useful when approaching any paper or project requiring research in google scholar.
(2024-03-01) Mauro Sebastián Innocente: I have papers in my Google Scholar Profile published in "Applied Soft Computing" (Elsevier) and in "Vehicles" (MDPI), which are plainly missed by ExCITATION. This is surprising because they are indexed in Scopus, WoS, and Scimago Journal Ranking (SJR). https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=MliO638AAAAJ&imq=Mauro+Sebasti%C3%A1n+Innocente
(2024-02-29) Dr. Nilanjan Ray: Global Journal of Business Research is a renowned Journal kindly but it is showing N/A kindly update . https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=dyjo1LsAAAAJ&hl=en
(2024-02-27) Supin Tapaneyasas: Such a great tool - all our students need to know more about Excitation and its benefits. Thank you!
(2024-02-23) Vinay Arya: There should be a suggestion portal where we can put any journal that is declared as N/A by the extension. Journals like The Journal of Chemical Physics, running over 80-90 years must be included in the database.
(2024-02-21) thomas Lange: Useful but not up-to-date. E.g. the journal Evidence-based HRM is in Scimago and is currently Q2.
(2024-02-21) Ishanka Weerasekara: Very useful. But need some accuracy. eg: Same journal, 98 volume has Q1 rank, 99 volume is NA (Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation). Plos One is Q1? but still appears as a NA?
(2024-02-19) Nora Luu: It is very useful. Help me save time looking up journals in the field that I am not familiar with.
(2024-02-05) Arya Varasteh: It is very useful. Speeded up my research.
(2024-01-28) Mohamad AL kaiyat: same journal took 2 differnt ranking !
(2024-01-11) Md Zakaria Siddiqui: It is Not showing SJR ranking of a Journal Called "Public Health Nutrition" published by Cambridge University of Press
(2023-12-13) Ch. Mahmood Anwar: First of all I congratulate Excitation Team on introducing such a wonderful resource for Researchers. To help all researchers looking for improving their literature search, this is the first ever Excitation explainer available on Youtube search results now.

(2023-08-30) J. J.: My supervisor once pointed out that one of my references didn't even have impact factors. That won't happen again.
