Every check, with its source

Where a check was decided by reading the journal's homepage or its ISSN Portal record, we keep what we read: the page's SHA-256 fingerprint, the time, and the words that decided it.

What this means for you

A real journal with real gaps — usually missing metadata or preservation. Your paper will be citable but may be undercounted by indexes until the journal fixes the items below. You can ask them to (button below).

8 things the journal should fix. We can send them the list with your name as the requesting author:

Journal Trust Rating badge

The badge — a small image that links to this page:

<a href="https://scholar.smartscholars.in/check.php?q=0019-5022" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://scholar.smartscholars.in/badge.php?issn=0019-5022" alt="Journal Trust Rating of The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences" height="28"></a>

The card — a box with the grade, the score and the date, for a sidebar or a journal list (see it):

Before you submit

Journals now screen submissions for assistant-written text, paper-mill phrases, invented references and reused figures. See the same signals first, with the evidence — the manuscript is read once and discarded.
