What this means for you

Major gaps or warning signs. Before submitting, ask the editor about the failed items; if your institution has a journal policy, this journal probably does not meet it yet.

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

Risk Radar

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

Journal Trust Rating badge

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

<a href="https://scholar.smartscholars.in/check.php?q=1595-8051" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://scholar.smartscholars.in/badge.php?issn=1595-8051" alt="Journal Trust Rating of Transdisciplinary Journal of Education &amp; Sustainable Development Studies" 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.
