Asia Journal Index

Apply to be indexed

Inclusion is free. There is no application fee, no listing fee, and nothing that can be bought to influence the outcome.

Read the inclusion criteria first. Your answers below are a declaration, not the decision — an evaluator checks every one against your public pages. Giving the exact URL for each makes that faster and makes a wrong result less likely.

The criteria

For each one, tick it if your journal meets it and give the URL that shows it.

Registered ISSN

An ISSN registered with the ISSN International Centre, displayed on the journal site and matching the title.

Editorial board with named affiliations

A public page listing editors by full name with institutional affiliation. A list of bare names does not pass.

Peer review process described

The review type is named and the process described, including at least two independent reviewers per submission.

Licence stated and linked

The licence is named AND hyperlinked to the licence deed (e.g. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/). A name alone does not pass.

Explicit open access statement

A statement of what readers may do with the content, on the journal site.

Fees stated, or absence of fees stated

APCs, submission fees and any other charges are stated with amounts, or the journal states plainly that it charges nothing.

Digital preservation policy

A named preservation arrangement (PKP PN, CLOCKSS, Portico, a national library deposit) and a statement of it.

Persistent identifiers optional

DOIs, or another persistent identifier, registered for articles and resolving correctly.

At least twelve months of publishing history

One year of content, or five research articles, whichever comes first.

No misleading metrics displayed

The journal does not display an invented or unverifiable impact factor or index score.

Publication ethics statement

A statement covering misconduct, plagiarism screening, corrections and retractions.

Named contact

A named editorial contact with an email address on the journal's own domain where possible.

Applying does not put your journal in the index. Until it has been evaluated it is not listed as indexed, and nothing about applying should be presented as an endorsement.
