Each bar segment is one evaluation section, sized by its weight in the methodology.

How a journal moves through Citeveriq

Listing is free and open to any journal with valid details. Evaluation is optional and paid; the fee covers the review, not the result.

Add the journal

Enter the journal's website. Its details are read from the site and the owner checks every field.

Free

Get listed

We confirm the ISSN, ownership and basic details, then publish a profile in the directory.

Free

Request an evaluation

The journal is assessed against all eight sections of the methodology, with evidence recorded for each mark.

Paid

Publish the result

The score, report summary and a certificate with a public verification page are issued.

Included

Two numbers, kept apart

A journal can be well run and rarely cited, or widely cited and poorly run. Citeveriq reports both measures separately so neither hides the other.

Read the methodology

Evaluation score

How the journal is run: editorial board, peer review, ethics, standards and transparency.

Check a certificate is genuine

Every Citeveriq certificate has a number and a QR code that opens its record here. A certificate that is not on this site was not issued by us.
