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.

6 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

A dated one-page certificate of this rating with all sources, for a thesis or promotion file.

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.

Show this rating on your site

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=3048-8575" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://scholar.smartscholars.in/badge.php?issn=3048-8575" alt="Journal Trust Rating of Creativitas: Critical Explorations in Literary 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.
