Journal records designed to be read, checked and described accurately.
The GAI journal directory presents eligible publication information in a consistent format and links users back to official sources.
What a complete journal record may contain
Identity
Official title, ISSN/e-ISSN, country, language, discipline and publisher information.
Access points
Official journal website, archive or article source links and relevant publisher pages.
GAI information
Applicable GAI Index ID, listing scope, verification reference and record-maintenance details.
Metadata context
Available article source, DOI, feed or structured export information where relevant to the service.
Directory records depend on information supplied by applicants and publicly verifiable sources. Publishers should report title, URL, ownership, ISSN, editor, policy or publication-status changes so records can be reviewed.
Before relying on a journal record
- Open the official journal website and confirm current policies.
- Check the exact title and ISSN rather than relying on a logo.
- Review author fees, peer review, editorial board and ethics pages.
- Verify claims about other indexes directly with those services.
- Use the GAI verification route for a GAI Index ID or certificate.
For journals seeking inclusion
Begin with the readiness checklist. If identity, governance, policies, archives and metadata are complete, submit direct links through the application. Choose Basic Evaluation when readiness is uncertain rather than assuming payment guarantees listing.
