Qualis Capes is a Chrome extension developed by bgeneto that utilizes the new CAPES criteria to display the Qualis Periodical factor directly on the scopus.com pages. With this extension, users can easily access the Qualis factor information without having to navigate through multiple pages.

The recent modification by CAPES in calculating the Qualis Periodical factor has made it more important for researchers to have quick access to this information. The indicators used in the calculation are primarily based on the number of citations the journal receives in two main databases: Scopus (CiteScore) and Web of Science (Impact Factor). The extension takes into account the percentile of the CiteScore as the first stratification criterion. If a journal has percentiles in multiple databases and categories, the highest value is always considered.

With Qualis Capes, researchers can save time and effort by easily finding the Qualis Periodical factor directly on the Scopus pages. This extension is a valuable tool for anyone who relies on Qualis factor information for their research or academic work.
