Journal Indexing
Proper indexing is critical to the success of any publication. With proper indexing come visibility and accessibility and the increased potential of your journal to impact the scholarship of your field and to attract significant works by significant authors. Indexing your journal’s articles in as many appropriate indexes as possible can increase their discoverability, raising citation counts and growing your publication’s profile.
