Troubleshooting

The badge does not appear

Google Scholar may not expose enough venue metadata, or the result may be a repository copy, preprint, book, thesis, or ambiguous publication. In these cases, DZ Journal Check may show Unclassified or no journal category.

DOI lookup does not resolve

Crossref metadata may be missing, incomplete, temporarily unavailable, or blocked by network conditions. Try the journal title or ISSN in the popup.

Author statistics are partial

Google Scholar may limit or block profile page requests. When the extension cannot safely fetch all profile pages, it may mark statistics as partial.

Independent Disclaimer

DZ Journal Check is an independent tool using publicly available Algerian DGRSDT/MESRS journal-classification data. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by DGRSDT, MESRS, Google Scholar, Crossref, or any Algerian government institution.
