Gives you a good Statistics-at-a-Glance of the journal
Disadvantage:
Not all journals are included
Is it good research all on the main theme of the journal?
Does it look like it was edited?
Are the ads appropriate?
Disadvantage:
Only weeds out the journals that don’t put in effort
Do they publish regularly? Once a year? Every week?
Disadvantage:
This is not a disqualifier on its own. Lots of societies don’t publish regularly. But combined with other problems, it is not a journal you want to use.
Google the journal name. Make sure the website they’re using is the right one.

If you want to double check, look at predatoryjournals.com/hijacked

There are lists of journals and publishers that have agreed to follow certain ethical codes. Do any relevant lists have the journal?
