What Guarded means

One or two patterns are present. Most are structural (no preservation, not in DOAJ, a shared title) and fixable by the journal; read the signals above and, if you are the editor, fix them — the score falls at the next weekly check.

Watch this journal

One mail the week its band rises or its score climbs 15 points, and one when a hijack or clone signal appears — nothing otherwise. Re-scored weekly.

Are you the editor?

Every signal names its source and its threshold. Fix the structural ones (preservation, DOAJ, reference deposits, the ISSN record) with the journal tools; the behavioural ones fall as the record changes. If a source is wrong about you, correct it at the source — the score follows.
