Indexing
Every accepted article receives a Crossref Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and is discoverable through Crossref and Google Scholar. This page states what is in place today, and nothing beyond it.
What is in place today?
- Crossref DOIs
- Every accepted article is registered with Crossref and assigned a DOI — a permanent link to the article that does not break if a web address changes. Corrections and retractions receive their own DOIs, so the record stays traceable.
- Google Scholar
- Published articles are discoverable through Google Scholar, which indexes the full text and tracks citations to the work.
Why does this matter for authors?
A DOI gives your article a citable, permanent identifier that other researchers can reference and that reference managers recognise. Discoverability through Crossref and Google Scholar means the article can be found and cited without a subscription. Combined with the CC BY 4.0 licence, this widens who can read and build on your work.
What about other databases?
The services named above are the ones in place. The journals do not claim inclusion in any index they are not verifiably listed in, and no claim is made here about Scopus, the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Web of Science, or any impact metric. Where an application to an index is under evaluation, it is described as under evaluation and not as accepted. Any listing, once confirmed, will be named with a link to the live record as proof.
