An honest note

We make your journal ready — indexers make the decision

No service provider can guarantee inclusion in Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ or any other database. Those decisions depend on editorial quality, peer-review standards, publication regularity, diversity of authors and editors, and citations. Be cautious of anyone who promises indexing for a fee.

What we do is remove every technical and presentation barrier. We make sure each article has complete, accurate metadata and a stable URL, DOIs are registered correctly, policies are clearly published, and your OJS installation exposes data in the standard formats discovery services use. Then we help your editorial team prepare applications with the right information in the right place.

Common gaps we fix

  • Missing or incomplete author affiliations
  • No references or abstracts in metadata
  • Policies not visible on the website
  • ISSN missing from journal pages
  • Broken PDF links or duplicate articles

FAQ

DOI & indexing FAQ

DOIs are issued through a registration agency such as Crossref. Your journal (or publisher) becomes a Crossref member, receives a DOI prefix and pays Crossref’s membership and registration fees directly. We help with the application, then configure OJS so DOIs are assigned and deposited automatically.

It varies from a few weeks to a few months after your articles are online and crawlable. Correct meta tags, accessible PDFs and a clean archive structure help Google Scholar process your journal reliably.

No one can guarantee that. Those lists are curated based on editorial and scholarly criteria. We make sure your journal is technically and presentationally ready and help your editors prepare documentation.

Yes. We can correct and complete metadata for back issues, add missing references and abstracts, and register DOIs for older articles if you choose to.
