About

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built Know Your Faculty to help professors find real research collaborators — but along the way we kept needing two things ourselves: a fast way to check an h-index, and a fast way to look up a journal's rating. So we made both free, standalone, and open to everyone — no account needed: 🧮 H-Index Calculator — paste your paper citation counts, get your h-index and i10-index instantly, calculated entirely in your browser. 📊 Journal Rankings — search all 2,649 journals in the ABDC Journal Quality List 2025, with SJR/Scopus quartile and papers-per-year for most of them. Would love feedback from anyone in academia (or adjacent to it) — what would make these more useful to you?

Launching on Product Hunt Sep 29 — AMA about Know Your Faculty

Hey everyone I'm the founder of Know Your Faculty, launching on Product Hunt this coming Tuesday (Sep 29).

Quick context: KYF is a collaboration platform for professors and researchers instead of matching by job title or mutual connections (like LinkedIn) or organizing around documents (like ResearchGate), it matches people by real research fit using a live Collab Score, with ORCID-verified publication data behind every profile.

It's currently in early access on Android, with iOS coming soon. Alongside the main platform, we also built two free tools anyone can use right now, no signup needed:

  • H-Index Calculator

  • ABDC Journal Rankings search (2,649 journals, A*/A/B/C ratings, SJR/Scopus quartile)
