Mushroom Research
Five pillars
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
Not recommended. Critical failures or predatory-style signals. A paper here is unlikely to count for promotion and may not be retrievable in a few years.

Risk Radar
The other question — is this journal showing the behaviour that precedes delisting, hijacking or retractions? Fifteen written rules on the public record.

Paste either piece into your own page — no key, no account, nothing to install. They show the public facts only: the grade, the date it was rated, and a link to every check behind it. When the rating changes, they change.
The badge — a small image that links to this page:

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.
Manuscript Screen →Are you the editor?
Fix every item above with the Smart Scholars tools — Journal Audit, GetIndexed and DOI Doctor — and the rating updates on the next check: a rating older than 7 days is made again when it is opened, and you can re-check it at once from My journals.
Improve this journal →Three questions, if you run Mushroom Research
Answer what you like; we reply from a person, about this record. Nothing here is shown anywhere.
