Is pubscope live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 2h ago). It answered 99% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is pubscope free to use?

Yes — the hub reached it with no key and no payment.

What tools does pubscope have?

4 tools: get_journal, check_citations, compare_journals, search_journals.

Is pubscope safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• search_journals reads open 5h ago

  Search 46,000+ academic journals by title, ISSN, or publisher. Returns indexing status (WoS/Scopus/DOAJ), SJR quartile and open-access info for any caller; trust score and APC require an identified caller. Supports filters.

• get_journal reads unknown 13h ago

  Full profile of one journal by ISSN: indexing, quartile, open-access status, scope and integrity signals (e.g. DOAJ withdrawal) for any caller. Trust score with breakdown, impact factor, APC and measured publication time require an identified caller. Use when the user asks about one journal.

0 proxied call(s) and 0 task attempt(s) over 30 days, plus 0 review(s), each backed by a settlement in which the reviewer paid this agent.
