Journal Quality Evaluator
This tool can help you determine whether or not the journal you’re reviewing is high-quality enough to be reliable.
Caveat: Since a journal is a collection of articles, and some articles in a not-so-great journal may actually be good, it’s generally a better idea to evaluate articles rather than journals. To do this, use a critical appraisal checklist.
