Future Indexing, Directory and Discovery Targets

JEGSD intends to pursue inclusion in the following services, subject to the eligibility requirements, review processes, and acceptance policies of each platform:

  • JournalTOCs
  • DRJI – Directory of Research Journals Indexing
  • CiteFactor
  • Index Copernicus
  • Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), when eligibility requirements are met
