Review Summary
CCFrank is a popular Chrome extension praised for its speed and useful display of CCF rankings on academic publications. However, users frequently report it failing to work on Google Scholar, inaccurate labeling of conferences or journals due to outdated data or strict matching algorithms, and inconsistencies in displayed rankings across searches. Users request updates to include more conferences, fix bugs, improve matching algorithms with semantic similarity, and enhanced compatibility with various academic databases to improve reliability and usefulness.
Pros
- Plugin is generally very useful and helpful for users dealing with academic conference and journal rankings.
- The extension operates at a good speed, faster than some other similar plugins on Google Scholar.
- Users appreciate the concept and utility of the plugin in providing CCF ranks directly on academic resources.
Cons
- Frequent failures or malfunctions on Google Scholar, including labels not displaying or the plugin not working at all.
- Many conferences and journals are incorrectly labeled as 'CCF None' even when they should have a ranking, indicating data is outdated or the matching algorithm is insufficient.
- Matching and identification issues due to strict or incomplete string matching; semantic similarity or vector-based matching is suggested as an improvement to handle variations in conference or journal names.
- Inconsistent behavior where the same journal or conference shows different rankings on different searches or points in time because rankings depend solely on the latest CCF list version.
- UI bugs on Google Scholar, such as ranking labels obscuring other UI elements when displayed on the first line.
