Journal Quality Check Tool
The Journal Quality Check Tool (JQCT) helps postgraduates and researchers select credible, accredited, and impactful journals while supporting the whole publishing process from manuscript preparation to post-publication visibility. It integrates key criteria such as scope, indexing, accreditation, SDG alignment, and open access compliance to enable informed publishing decisions.
The tool also guides data management, including depositing datasets and identifying journals with waived or discounted APCs. By using it, researchers can reduce predatory publishing risks, enhance the visibility and impact of their work, and align their practices with institutional standards and responsible open science principles.
