Personal productivity tools for Google Scholar with minimal extra requests. Scholar Utility Belt — Journal Quality Badges Journal rankings (ABDC, FT50, UTD24, VHB), citation analytics, academic lineage trees, trend tracking & more on Google Scholar. Scholar Utility Belt adds journal quality badges, citation analytics, author metrics, academic lineage trees, and research trend tracking directly to Google Scholar — no extra tabs, no manual lookups. ★ JOURNAL QUALITY BADGES See ABDC, FT50, UTD24, VHB, SJR Quartile (Q1–Q4), ERA, ABS, CORE, CCF, Norwegian Register, FNEGE, and Impact Factor rankings as color-coded badges on every search result and author profile page. Instantly identify top-tier publications without leaving Scholar. ★ CITATION VELOCITY & ANALYTICS Each paper shows citations per year with trend arrows (↑ accelerating, → stable, ↓ decaying). Compare papers not just by total citations but by research momentum. ★ AUTHOR PROFILE METRICS On any Scholar author page, see computed h-index, m-index, L-index, g-index, hI-norm, self-citation rate, publication quality breakdown (how many Q1, FT50, UTD24 papers), and coauthor analytics — all calculated in real time. ★ ACADEMIC LINEAGE TREES Trace advisor–student genealogy across generations. See who advised whom in an interactive tree view with 900,000+ researchers from Academic Family Tree, Mathematics Genealogy Project, and institutional repository data. ★ QUERY TREND TRACKER See how research topics are trending via OpenAlex data. Every search shows related concept velocity (e.g., "Large Language Models ↑ 847%") plus detected methodology keywords. ★ RETRACTION ALERTS Papers flagged in the Retraction Watch database are marked with a visible warning badge. Never accidentally cite retracted research. ★ QUICK ACTIONS One-click Save to library, BibTeX export, abstract preview, DOI lookup, and code/dataset link detection (via CatalyzeX and DataCite) — all inline on search results. ★ DARK MODE Full dark theme that matches Scholar's interface, with all badges and panels adapting automatically. ★ PRIVACY-FIRST All ranking data is bundled locally — no API calls needed for quality badges. External lookups (OpenAlex, Crossref, Unpaywall) only happen when features are enabled and never send personal data. No tracking, no analytics, no accounts.
