Journal Indexing & Publisher Services

Detailed journal evaluation, directory, metadata and publisher services with transparent deliverables.

Services designed around publisher readiness

More than a directory entry: a structured route to clearer journal visibility.

GAI services help editorial teams identify weaknesses, organize public evidence, prepare metadata and present eligible journals consistently. Each package solves a different operational problem; none sells prestige or guaranteed acceptance.

Which problem are you trying to solve?

“We do not know whether the journal is ready.”

Choose Basic Journal Evaluation. The review examines identity, ownership, editorial governance, peer review, ethics, author-facing terms, archives and visible metadata. It is the sensible entry point for new or improving journals.

See Evaluation Details

“Our journal needs a structured, verifiable record.”

Choose Standard Index Listing when your public policies are mature and you need an eligible GAI profile, classification, Index ID and verification reference during the annual service period.

“Our article metadata is inconsistent or difficult to harvest.”

Choose Professional Article-Level Indexing for metadata-source review and record support based on DOI/Crossref, OAI-PMH, RSS, XML or CSV. Up to 100 article records are included in the published annual scope.

“We manage several journals and need one process.”

Choose the Publisher Package for portfolio coordination, a publisher profile and up to ten eligible journal listings. This reduces duplicated correspondence and creates consistent evidence requirements.

What professional review time actually covers

Evaluation is not a quick glance at a homepage. Reviewers need to locate, compare and interpret information across the website, application and available metadata sources. They check whether the journal says the same thing in its policies, author instructions, archives, article records and application.

  • Identity, title history, publisher and ownership
  • ISSN/e-ISSN presentation and official domains
  • Editorial responsibilities and board transparency
  • Peer-review workflow, conflicts and decision authority
  • Authorship, misconduct, plagiarism and data-integrity policies
  • Corrections, retractions, complaints and appeals
  • Author charges, waivers, copyright and licences
  • Archives, publication regularity and article access
  • DOI, author, abstract, keyword, date and source metadata
  • Crossref, OAI-PMH, RSS, XML or CSV source availability

What applicants receive—and what they do not.

Concrete value

A completed review, a clearer understanding of readiness, the package-specific record or metadata work for eligible applicants, and a documented route for questions and updates.

Honest limits

No GAI service guarantees acceptance, citations, author submissions, revenue, academic accreditation, government recognition or inclusion in an unrelated database.

Why this matters: Responsible publishers build long-term trust by describing services accurately. GAI records must be presented as GAI records, not as substitutes for impact metrics or third-party indexes.

Choose the service based on your real next step.

If the journal is still developing, begin with evaluation. If policies and metadata are mature, compare listing and article-level scopes. Multi-journal organizations should use the publisher route.
