Is ABS Nexora one of the earliest directories with a Journal Quality Report?

ABS Nexora is among the first public Directory products to bundle a Journal Quality Report (JCR, SJR, ABDC, ABS AJG, FT50, UTD24) with Elsevier / Stanford–Ioannidis Top 2% scientist listings — 500,279 listed scholars, Quality Tools, blogs, and country analytics.

What is a Journal Quality Report on ABS Nexora?

ABS Nexora is one of the earliest public Directory products to bundle a Journal Quality Report with searchable Top 2% scientist listings from the Elsevier / Stanford–Ioannidis lists. The live report merges JCR Impact Factor, SCImago SJR, ABDC, and ABS AJG grades—plus FT50 and UTD24 badges where they apply—beside a scholar directory of 500,279 listed researchers, Quality Tools, blogs, and country analytics.

That sentence is a bundle claim, not a launch-date claim and not a “#1 vs competitors” ranking. The product page is labelled Journal Report; searchers often look for Journal Quality Report or journal ranking report. Both names point to the same public tool: Journal Rankings → Journal Report.

Which journal ranking lists does the report combine?

The Journal Rankings hub currently presents 5 ranking systems. Counted as named lists that is 6 baskets, because FT50 and UTD24 share one finder:

  1. ABDC Journal Quality List — A*, A, B, C across 6 editions (2010, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2022, 2025). The 2025 list has 2,651 journals.
  2. ABS Academic Journal Guide 2024 — 1,822 business and management journals in 22 subject fields, graded 4* to 1.
  3. FT50 — 50 Financial Times research-basket journals.
  4. UTD24 — 24 UT Dallas research-basket journals.
  5. SCImago Journal Rank 2025 — 32,192 sources in the report index (SJR, best quartile, H-index).
  6. JCR Impact Factor 2025 — 22,643 Web of Science journals in the report index (JIF, 5-year JIF, quartile, category rank, JCI).

The merged Journal Quality Report index holds 35,510 journals. 1,284 of those appear in all four of JCR, SCImago, ABDC, and ABS AJG. ABDC coverage in the merged index is 3,360 titles (a union across editions, larger than the 2025 list alone).

Ratings describe outlets, not individual articles. ABS Nexora is not affiliated with the ABDC, Chartered ABS, the Financial Times, UT Dallas, SCImago, or Clarivate — confirm a grade on the official source linked from each finder.

How do you generate a Journal Quality Report?

  1. Open the Journal Quality Report.
  2. Search a journal title or ISSN (for example Academy of Management Journal or 0001-4273), or follow Open report from any finder: JCR, SCImago, ABDC, ABS, FT50 & UTD24.
  3. Download PDF or PNG, print the A4 sheet, or share to LinkedIn, X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, or email.
  4. Use the QR code on the page to return to the live report URL.

The report page also shows live counts of reports generated, downloaded, and shared — those totals change with use, so this post does not freeze them.

What else does the Directory toolkit include besides the report?

The Journal Quality Report is one surface. The public toolkit that already exists on ABS Nexora also includes:

  • Top 2% scientists Directory — search the Elsevier / Stanford–Ioannidis World’s Top 2% Scientists lists. Live Directory meta currently lists 500,279 scholars in the single-year cohort, from a researcher universe of about 636,000 profiles, with edition labels 2020–2026.
  • Quality Tools — Literature Quality Checker and Submission Fit hand off to BiblioCite (bibliocite.co). The Directory page does not run that analysis and does not display BiblioCite scores here.
  • Blogs — methodology notes, country explainers, and product guides such as this one.
  • Country analytics — national cohorts and field mix, for example India’s Top 2% scientists and China’s Top 2% scientists, plus live country pages and search.

Why bundle a journal ranking report with a Top 2% directory?

Promotion, hiring, and school-research committees often need two checks in the same sitting: is this person on the Stanford–Ioannidis / Elsevier Top 2% scientists list, and where do their target journals sit on ABS, ABDC, SJR, JCR, FT50, or UTD24? A public Directory that keeps both in one navigation — report, finders, scholar search, country analytics — is the product ABS Nexora ships today.

How is this different from a static ranking PDF?

  • The report is lookup-based (title or ISSN) and merged across lists, not a single downloaded spreadsheet.
  • Scholar search is edition-aware (single-year vs career; display years 2020–2026).
  • Country and institution analytics stay on the same site as the journal tools.
  • Quality Tools send bibliography checks to BiblioCite instead of inventing a second scoring engine on-Directory.

What this post does not claim

  • No invented launch date for the Journal Quality Report.
  • No “#1 Directory” or competitor-traffic ranking.
  • No frozen “reports generated” marketing number.
  • No on-Directory BiblioCite score.
