INDEXING & ABSTRACTING

Where your article can be found after it’s published.

Being indexed means your article shows up when someone searches your field — not just on our site. Here is exactly where each application stands today, published openly rather than implied.

APPLIED

Crossref

DOI registration for every published article, for citation tracking.

APPLIED

Google Scholar

Article pages are structured with Scholar-readable metadata tags.

APPLICANT

DOAJ

Directory of Open Access Journals application submitted for all three titles.

APPLIED

AJOL

African Journals OnLine listing underway, to strengthen discoverability across African research networks.

APPLIED

ORCID

Researcher identifiers captured at submission, for accurate author attribution.

We publish this status openly and update it as each application progresses — rather than implying indexing we haven’t yet secured. If an index you rely on isn’t listed here, ask the editorial office directly.

LONG-TERM ARCHIVING

Built so your article stays accessible.

Each article’s DOI is intended to resolve to a stable landing page, and we plan to maintain off-site backups of the full publication archive as issues are published.

HOW READERS FIND YOUR WORK

Structured for discovery, not just publication.

Every article page is built with Google Scholar and Dublin Core metadata tags, structured author and affiliation data, and a downloadable PDF — the technical requirements search engines and citation managers rely on to surface your work correctly.
