Indexing Policy

The journal recognises that indexing plays a vital role in increasing the visibility, accessibility, and scholarly impact of published research. Indexing in reputable academic databases ensures that articles are easily discoverable by researchers and practitioners worldwide, amplifying the reach and influence of the work published in the journal.

The journal is committed to maintaining high editorial and publishing standards to meet the rigorous criteria required by leading indexing services. These standards include maintaining a transparent and robust peer review process, adhering to ethical publication policies, and ensuring a consistent publication schedule. The journal editorial board comprises qualified experts with diverse institutional affiliations to promote geographic and disciplinary representation.

As indexing is a gradual and ongoing process, the journal adopts a strategic approach by initially targeting databases with accessible entry requirements and progressing towards more selective indexes. Indexing not only increases article discoverability but also reflects the journal’s commitment to scholarly excellence and integrity. Therefore, the journal regularly review and improve its editorial policies, production quality, and technological capabilities, such as metadata management and digital preservation, to meet evolving industry expectations.

Authors publishing with the journal benefit from our dedication to indexing, which helps ensure their work reaches the widest possible academic and professional audiences, enhancing citation potential and academic recognition. Authors are encouraged to review our indexing status and policy as part of their submission considerations and invite inquiries regarding indexing progress from prospective contributors and readers.
