ScholarVault is an automated forensic intelligence platform protecting researchers across India — and globally — from high-risk academic conferences. Using an 18-checkpoint audit engine, ScholarVault analyses any conference URL and returns a verified Trust Index score in under 12 seconds, giving every researcher the data they need before they invest money, time, or academic credibility.

Verify

Automated 18-point forensic check on any conference URL — domain age, blacklists, indexing claims, venue transparency, and 14 more signals. Results in 12 seconds.

Protect

Every researcher — PhD student, faculty, or department — gets the same protection. The audit is always free, always accurate, always honest.

Document

Downloadable forensic PDF reports with unique Report IDs and QR verification seals. Accepted by HODs, ethics committees, and NAAC bodies.

Who Uses ScholarVault:

PhD Researchers

First-time submitters are most vulnerable. One high-risk conference can cost a semester's savings and set back research by a year.

Faculty Members

Publishing in an unverified venue can invalidate years of research for NAAC, UGC, and promotion criteria.

University Departments

NAAC accreditation requires documented research quality. Our Institution Plan generates compliance reports automatically.

Funding Bodies

DST, CSIR, UGC grant reimbursements must go to verified legitimate venues. ScholarVault ensures they do.

Globally, millions of unverified academic conferences operate in the open — promising Scopus indexing, prestigious venues, and international recognition. Researchers pay. Papers go unpublished. Careers stall. In India alone, an estimated ₹200–500 Crore is lost every year to high-risk conference organisers.

The Pattern High-Risk Organisers Follow:

A prestigious-sounding name registered overnight — often imitating real conferences

Scopus/Web of Science indexing falsely claimed in the Call for Papers

Registration fees collected across hundreds of parallel event brands simultaneously

Events cancelled, converted to low-quality virtual sessions, or never held

Refund policies hidden behind impossible-to-navigate terms and conditions

Same CCAvenue merchant IDs shared across 50–200+ conference brands

Researchers left with no paper trail and no path to resolution

Domain names registered days before the "announcement" emails go out

SCHOLARVAULT ORIGINAL FORENSIC FINDING

During original investigative research, ScholarVault identified high-risk conference networks sharing payment infrastructure via CCAvenue merchant IDs — a single merchant account tied to 50–200+ separate conference brands. Domain age checks, content fingerprinting, and RDAP registrar analysis revealed coordinated registration patterns. This intelligence now powers ScholarVault's 1,000+ domain blacklist — updated daily.

Who Is Most at Risk:

PhD Students

First-time submitters with limited budgets and intense publish pressure — most exposed to high-risk traps.

Faculty Under Promotion

NAAC and UGC assessments require verified records. One unverified venue can invalidate years of output.

Early-Career Researchers

Cannot afford financial or reputational losses. High-risk conferences can damage careers before they begin.

Funding Bodies

DST/CSIR/UGC grant reimbursements reaching high-risk venues is a governance failure.

No expertise required. Paste the conference URL and 18 automated forensic checks run instantly — cross-referencing global academic databases, domain registries, payment infrastructure, and community reports. Result: a Trust Index score (0–100), clear verdict, and optional forensic PDF report.
