Journal Indexing
Indexing expands the reach of sports medicine research by connecting JSEM articles to discovery platforms, library catalogs, and citation services worldwide. JSEM maintains strong indexing visibility so clinicians and researchers can find and apply evidence quickly.
Indexing Overview
JSEM publishes open access research with complete metadata and DOI registration to support long term discoverability. Indexing services provide citation integrity, researcher access, and global visibility for sports medicine and exercise science.
Core Indexing Services
Crossref DOI
Persistent identifiers with full metadata for citation tracking.
CrossMark
Version control and correction tracking for published articles.
Similarity Check
Originality screening to protect research integrity.
ISSN Portal
Official registry entry (ISSN: 2694-2283).
Discovery Channels
Discovery channels include major search and library platforms that help clinicians, trainers, and researchers locate relevant sports medicine studies quickly.
- Google Scholar inclusion for broad scholarly visibility.
- WorldCat (OCLC) for library discovery and catalog integration.
- Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, CORE, and BASE for research discovery.
- IP Indexing and evaluation platforms such as SJIF, IIJIF, Journal Impact Factor, and IFSIJ.

Indexing FAQs
Indexing vs Discovery
Indexing supports citation integrity through DOIs and metadata. Discovery platforms such as Google Scholar and WorldCat help readers find your work quickly.
PubMed and PMC
Not all articles are indexed in PubMed. Articles funded by agencies that require deposit may be added to PubMed Central and then appear in PubMed.
Metadata Quality
Accurate titles, keywords, and affiliations improve indexing performance. ORCID identifiers help maintain consistent attribution across sports science databases.
Discovery Timing
Crossref registration is immediate after publication. Discovery services typically index new articles within 24 to 48 hours, supporting rapid visibility.
Institutional Visibility
JSEM metadata are structured for compatibility with institutional repositories and library catalogs. Authors can deposit published PDFs where permitted to expand readership.
Author Identifiers
Use ORCID identifiers and consistent author names to improve citation accuracy. Standardized identifiers help maintain correct attribution across indexing platforms.
Citation Linking
Ensure references include DOIs when available and that citations match the cited work. Accurate references support Crossref linking and improve discovery.
Keyword Strategy
Use precise keywords that reflect sports medicine subfields, interventions, and populations. Keyword quality improves search matching and discovery relevance.
ORCID and Funding IDs
Link ORCID identifiers and include funding identifiers to support correct attribution and compliance reporting. These details strengthen the metadata record and improve visibility across indexing services.
Discovery Refresh
Discovery platforms refresh metadata regularly. Consistent DOI use and accurate references improve visibility over time.
