Indexing

Indexing and discoverability

Indexing services set their own eligibility criteria, and most of them require a publication history before they will consider an application. Rather than list services we hope to join, this page states where each one actually stands and what has to happen first.

Service by service

Service	Status	What it depends on
Crossref (DOI registration)	In progress	Publisher membership, then DOI deposit on publication
Google Scholar	Ready	Citation metadata is served in the HTML of every article page
OAI-PMH	Ready	Open endpoint for harvesters; served by the editorial system
PKP Preservation Network	In progress	Required by DOAJ; archives content independently of this server
Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)	Planned	Eligible after one year of publication and a preservation arrangement
Scopus	Planned	Eligible after roughly two years of consistent publication
Web of Science (ESCI)	Planned	Application after sustained publication and a named editorial board
