Why is indexing essential?
Indexing will help your journal achieve its
main purpose of being accessible to a wide audience.
Being accessible in turn will improve your
journal’s reputation as a reliable source of high-quality information in your
field.
Database research is the first activity
researchers undertake as part of their study, and they naturally look to
established, well-known databases. Thus, being indexed in a known database in
your field will help increase your journal’s readership.
How does indexing work?
Once a journal is indexed by a database, it is
immediately made available to all users of that database. Some databases index
titles, some index full articles while some others index only the abstract
and/or references. There are several abstracting and indexing services
available today. Some are affiliated with institutions (e.g., PubMed maintained
by the United States National Library of Medicine at the National Institute of
Health) while some are provided by publishers (e.g., Scopus by Elsevier).
Irrespective of which institution the database is affiliated with, you will
need to formally apply for inclusion in the database of your choice."

factor and index of academic journals, books. We maintain academic database
services to researchers, journal editors and publishers. Cosmos provides a
detailed report of individual journal for further improvement of respective
journal overall look up and technical aspect for better Impact Factor.
Cosmos provides Quantitative and
Qualitative tool for ranking, evaluating and categorizing the Journals for
academic evaluation and excellence. This Factor is used for evaluating the
prestige of Journals. The evaluation is carried out by considering the factors
Like Paper Originality, Citation, Editorial Quality, and Regularity &
International Presence.
We perform the in-depth analysis
method. The acceptance and rejection rates of journals can be a determining
factor. Low acceptance rate, high rejection rate journals are considered the
best and most prestigious journals, as the acceptance criteria is of high
quality standard. Many journals and societies have web pages that give
publication data and style requirements and often include acceptance/rejection
rates. The paper copy of the journal occasionally includes this data and will
always provide current contact information, whether a journal is indexed in the
major indexing/abstracting service in the field is another criteria that can be
used to assess the worth and quality of a journal.

Washington State University:
Washington State University (Washington State, WSU or Wazzu)
is a public research university in Pullman, Washington.
Founded in 1890, WSU is one of the oldest land-grant universities in
the American West and features programs in a broad range of academic
disciplines. With an undergraduate enrollment of 24,470 and a total
enrollment of 29,686, it is the second largest institution of higher education
in Washington state behind the University of Washington. The WSU
Pullman campus is perched upon a hill, characterized by open spaces, views,
deep green conifers, and a restrained red brick and basalt material
palette—materials originally found on site. The university is nestled within
the rolling topography of the Palouse in rural eastern Washington and
remains intimately connected to the town, the region, and the landscape in
which it sits.
The
university also operates campuses across Washington known as WSU Spokane, WSU
Tri-Cities, and WSU Vancouver, all founded in 1989. In 2012, WSU launched
an Internet-based Global Campus, which includes its online degree
program, WSU Online. In 2015, WSU expanded to a sixth campus, known as WSU
Everett. These campuses award primarily bachelor's and master's degrees.
Freshmen and sophomores were first admitted to the Vancouver campus in 2006 and
to the Tri-Cities campus in 2007. Enrollment for the four campuses and WSU
Online exceeds 29,686 students. This includes 1,751 international students.
WSU's
athletic teams are called the Cougars and the school colors are
crimson and gray. Six men's and nine women's varsity teams compete in NCAA Division
I in the Pac-12 Conference. Both men's and women's indoor track teams
compete in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.
Semantic Scholar :
Semantic Scholar is a project developed at
the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence. Publicly released in
November 2015, it is designed to be an AI-backed search engine for scientific
journal articles. The project uses a combination of machine
learning, natural language processing, and machine vision to add
a layer of semantic analysis to the traditional methods of citation
analysis, and to extract relevant figures, entities, and venues from papers. In
comparison to Google Scholar and PubMed, Semantic Scholar is
designed to highlight the most important and influential papers, and to
identify the connections between them.
As
of January 2018, following a 2017 project that added biomedical papers and
topic summaries, the Semantic Scholar corpus included more than 40 million
papers from computer science and biomedicine. In March
2018, Doug Raymond, who developed machine learning initiatives for
the Amazon Alexa platform, was hired to lead the Semantic Scholar
project. As of August 2019, the number of included papers had grown to
more than 173 million after the addition of the Microsoft Academic
Graph records, already used by Lens.org.
Sci-Hub :
Sci-Hub is a website that provides free access
to millions of research papers and books, without regard to
copyright, by bypassing publishers' paywalls in various ways.
Sci-Hub
was founded by Alexandra Elbakyan in 2011 in Kazakhstan in
response to the high cost of research papers behind paywalls. The site is
widely used in both developed and developing countries, serving
over 200,000 requests per day as of February 2016.
Sci-Hub
and Elbakyan were sued twice for copyright infringement in the United
States in 2015 and 2017, and lost both cases, leading to loss of some of its
Internet domain names. The site has cycled through different domain
names since then.
Sci-Hub has been lauded by some in the scientific,
academic, and publishing communities for providing access to knowledge
generated by the scientific community. Others have criticized it for violating
copyright, threatening the economic viability of publishers, potentially
compromising universities' network security and jeopardizing
legitimate access to papers by university staff.
Electronic Journals Library :
The Electronic Journals Library is a service
to facilitate the use of scholarly journals on the internet. It offers a fast,
structured and unified interface to access full-text articles online.
It comprises 99764 titles from all areas of research, 21965
of which are available online only. In addition, 130244 journals, which are
provided by aggregators, are listed. The EZB contains 64605 journals which are
accessible free of charge to anyone. Furthermore, the participating libraries
provide their users access to the journals they subscribe to.
The journals are presented in lists sorted by research area.
An updated list is generated by the database according to the member library's
specifications each time it is accessed.
Following the main thesis of
the most outstanding world-famous scholar Maria SkÅ‚odowska Curie – “Education should be free of charge and generally
available ”, a World Catalogue of Scientific Journals has been created
in 2010.
This World Catalogue of Scientific
Journals, or a list of the most known and prestigious scientific journals, is
intended to promote science and education worldwide. The system of science and
education promotion as a free-of-charge and generally available offer can be and
is presented in the form of an on-line system.
Conditions for placing a journal in the
catalogue
Any scientific journal worldwide which
publishes the title and English summary at least on generally available
websites for minimum two years can be added to World Catalogue of Scientific
Journals.
Publisher or Editor-in-Chief should
propose his / her journal by completing a form in the “Suggest your Journal”
tab and send to the Catalogue’s Editors. After checking by reviewers, a journal
will be added to the World Catalogue.
Indexcopernicus :
All journals may be registered in the ICI World of Journals
database. The database gathers information on international scientific journals
which is divided into sections: general information, contents of individual
issues, detailed bibliography (references) for every publication, as well as
full texts of publications in the form of attached files (optional). Within the
ICI World of Journals database, each editorial office may access, free of
charge, the IT system which allows you to manage your journal's passport:
updating journal’s information, presenting main fields of activity and sharing
the publications with almost 200 thousand users from all over the world. The
idea behind the ICI World of Journals database is to create a place where
scientific journals from all over the world would undergo verification for
‘predatory journals’ practices by scientific community. The ICI World of
Journals database allows journals which care about completeness and topicality
of their passports to build their citation rates and international cooperation.
