The Role of Indexing in Scholarly Impact
Indexing in reputable databases ensures that published research is discoverable by the global academic community. When an article appears in Google Scholar, WorldCat, and discipline-specific indices, it reaches a far broader audience than the journal’s own readership alone. This translates directly into higher citation rates, more collaboration opportunities, and greater return on the research investment for authors and their institutions.
Open Access Pub is actively expanding our indexing partnerships. We are pursuing inclusion in additional databases and abstracting services to further increase the visibility and impact of our authors’ work.
