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:

Watch this rating

Hear by e-mail and on your dashboard when this journal's grade changes, when its records cannot be read, or when a hijack or clone signal appears. Watched ratings are re-checked at least every 7 days. Free for up to 10 journals.

Certificate

Take it with you

The facts on this page as JSON — the grade, the score, when it was rated and under which methodology, every check with its source and what we read, and the history. Free, no key; any website may read it.

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.

Journal Trust Rating badge

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

<a href="https://scholar.smartscholars.in/check.php?q=2521-568X" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://scholar.smartscholars.in/badge.php?issn=2521-568X" alt="Journal Trust Rating of Hayatian Journal of Linguistics and Literature" 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.
