Scholarly Discovery

Indexing & Abstracting

Helping research become easier to discover, access and connect with academic communities.

What is Indexing?

Making scholarly research easier to discover

Indexing refers to the inclusion of scholarly journals or articles in academic databases and search platforms. Indexed publications are easier for researchers, students, authors and institutions to discover, access and cite.

Journal indexing can contribute to:
  • Increased visibility of published research
  • Improved discoverability of articles
  • Greater accessibility for researchers
  • Citation and research tracking
  • Wider dissemination of scientific work
  • Identification of journals within particular subject areas

Iris Publishers Indexing

Iris Publishers indicates that its journals are included in various indexing and abstracting services. Indexing is journal-specific, meaning that the indexing status of one Iris Publishers journal should not automatically be applied to every journal published by the organization.

The exact databases should therefore be verified using the individual journal title and ISSN.
