Journal IndexingBuilt for research visibility
Indexing and discoverability ensure verbal behavior research is visible and citable worldwide.
Indexing and Discovery
JVB invests in metadata quality, DOI registration, and structured abstracts to improve discoverability. Indexing requires consistent publishing standards, ethical compliance, and citation quality.
We continuously improve metadata accuracy to support search visibility across academic databases and analytics platforms.

Discovery Workflow
How articles are surfaced
Submit
Editorial checks and peer review begin immediately.
Production
Metadata validated and references checked.
Deposits
DOI registration and sitemaps enable discovery.
Visibility
Articles appear across discovery channels.
Indexing vs Discovery
Indexing services ensure permanent identification and citation integrity. Discovery services help readers find your work. Some databases such as PubMed depend on funder or repository eligibility, so coverage may vary by article.
Increase the Reach of Your Research
Publish with JVB to benefit from open access visibility and robust indexing workflows.
Submit via ManuscriptZoneSimple SubmissionMetadata and SEO
Clear titles, precise keywords, and descriptive abstracts improve indexing performance. Include relevant terms such as verbal operants, functional communication training, and AAC when appropriate.
Indexing Timeline
Crossref registration allows immediate citation resolution. Discovery platforms typically index new articles within 24 to 48 hours of publication.
PubMed Note
Not all articles are indexed in PubMed. Only articles funded by NIH or agencies that require deposit are eligible for PubMed Central.
Author Actions That Help
Use precise keywords, include ORCID iDs, and ensure references are accurate with DOIs. Clear abstracts improve the likelihood of fast indexing.
Discovery Beyond Indexing
Articles are shared through library catalogs and open access aggregators, increasing visibility for educators, clinicians, and policy stakeholders.
Visibility Checkpoints
After publication, metadata deposits, sitemaps, and repository feeds accelerate discovery. If you do not see your article indexed within a reasonable window, contact the editorial office.
Profile Integration
Link your article to ORCID, institutional repositories, and research profiles to amplify reach. Accurate author metadata supports analytics and citation tracking.
Indexing Readiness
Consistent titles, structured abstracts, and correct references improve indexing success. If you update a preprint, add the DOI once published so citations consolidate in discovery systems. Sharing the DOI on author profiles and lab pages also accelerates discovery and improves long term tracking. Keep author affiliations current to avoid indexing errors and mismatched author profiles across databases and citation tools and reporting systems for accurate attribution and credit.
