WHAT JCF LABS IS

JCF Corp’s research and publishing intelligence platform.

JCF Labs is built on a shared Research Graph connecting journals, publishers, societies, researchers, institutions and their history — so you can discover, compare and follow scholarly entities using deterministic, source-backed intelligence. No opaque AI-only answers; where evidence exists, you can see it.

Journal IntelligenceLive

Search, compare, and understand journals.

Indexing status and citation evidence from Scopus, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, PMC, SCImago and DOAJ — compare journals side by side, and browse by subject or country. No rankings, no quality verdicts. Currently 50,353+ journals.

Open Journal Intelligence
Publisher & Society Intelligence

Understanding who actually operates a journal.

Publisher, society and journal-organisation relationships — who owns and operates what — already live inside JCF Labs’ Research Graph. A public browsing page for this layer is still expanding.

Platform area — expanding intelligence coverage.

Deal & Ownership Intelligence

Tracking how journal ownership changes over time.

Ownership transitions and publisher succession are part of the same underlying Research Graph — a factual intelligence layer, not a marketplace. A public view of this history is still expanding.

Platform area — expanding intelligence coverage.

Researcher & Institution Intelligence

Connecting people and institutions to the journals they shape.

Researcher identities and institutional affiliations, and their links to journals and works, are modeled inside the Research Graph. Public discovery pages for this layer are still expanding.

Research Graph

One connected map of the scholarly world.

Journals, publishers, societies, researchers, institutions, topics and countries all live in a single graph, so every fact traces back to where it came from instead of sitting in an isolated list.

The connecting layer behind everything above.

JCF Intelligence Engine

Deterministic, source-backed, never a black box.

Every fact JCF Labs shows is computed and traceable to a real source — never an opaque, AI-generated answer. Where evidence exists, you can see it; where it doesn’t, JCF Labs says so instead of guessing.

The principle behind every layer above.

Verification

Verify JCF-issued credentials.

Every certificate generated through an authorized JCF Labs workflow carries a verification code you can check at any time.
