A complete application reduces delay and gives reviewers a fair basis for assessment.
Official information
Submit the exact title, publisher, country, website and ISSN/e-ISSN. Explain former titles, editions and language versions.
Direct policy links
Provide direct URLs for the board, peer review, ethics, fees, rights, complaints, corrections and archives.
Metadata evidence
Identify working DOI/Crossref, OAI-PMH, RSS, XML or CSV sources and test them before submission.
Right service
Choose evaluation for readiness, listing for an eligible directory record, article-level service for metadata scope, and publisher service for portfolios.
Match payment
Use the same journal title and monitored email in the application and Stripe checkout. Keep the receipt reference.
Follow-up
Answer clarification requests from an official address and keep a copy of the submitted information.
Decision
Paid review can identify deficiencies or result in non-inclusion. The fee covers the professional work performed.
Next step: improve your public documentation, then review the GAI application process. Inclusion is not guaranteed.
