Find quality sources in a shorter time (journal ranking), identify leading studies (sort by citation), and preview abstracts
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 (2023), 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

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.

- (2023-10-22) Stefanos Stavrianos: Love from first "cite"! Excellent work. I have already supported further development and I am waiting for the Pro Features (sort by Cites, SJR ranking, abstract preview).
- (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.
- (2023-06-19) Luke H: I've found this incredibly useful. great tool, and I would highly recommend.
- (2023-03-16) Nikos Kotsifakis: Great extension,helps me a lot with research.
- (2023-02-27) Shujahat Ali: Its nice effort to make the research process easier. Its good response from academia based on the real research experiences.
- (2023-02-11) I C: Solving many issues so easily! I really believe this is essential tool for any researcher. It simplifies so much the whole process of identifying , ranking and selecting papers/journals. What I loved a lot: - Ranked sources in no time - Sorted studies so quickly - Previewing of abstracts abstracts with one click What I think can be added is the ABS listing Other than that, I think the extension works great and it offers immediately the needed results without even asking for it. Totally recommend it. An absolute essential for research. Thank you
- (2023-02-06) Asmae EL KASSIRI: Très intéressant Outil pratique pour classer les articles et visualiser l'abstract, rendant ainsi la recherche des articles les plus pertinents plus rapide. Sinon, le plugin marche parfaitement sur Edge et non pas sur Chrome.
- (2023-02-06) N Dav: I like it. It is visually interesting and easy to navigate. The ability to see the abstract is outstanding. It will be even better when developers add other indicators. The tool works on Edge. I am not using Chrome.
