INDEXING

Database application roadmap.

Year 1 foundation indexes, Year 2 applications (DOAJ, EBSCO, ProQuest), Year 3 major indexes (Scopus, WoS, PubMed Central, IEEE Xplore).

Indexing is a multi-year process. Foundation indexes activate automatically when articles publish. Major indexes require demonstrated publication history and citation evidence. We disclose our application status publicly.

Database Application Roadmap

Year 1 (2026) — Foundation Indexes

All Datarsoft journals are indexed in foundation indexes from Volume 1, Issue 1:

  • CrossRef (DOI registration).
  • ORCID.
  • Google Scholar.
  • BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine).
  • OpenAIRE.
  • ROAD (Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources).
  • Dimensions.
  • Lens.org.
  • CLOCKSS.
  • Portico.
  • Internet Archive Scholar.

Year 2 (2027) — Application Year

Applications submitted (typically requires 12 months of publication history):

  • DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals).
  • EBSCO Discovery Service.
  • ProQuest.

Year 3 (2028) — Major Index Year

Applications submitted to major subscription indexes:

  • Scopus (Elsevier).
  • Web of Science Emerging Sources Citation Index (Clarivate ESCI).
  • PubMed Central (for biomedical journals).
  • IEEE Xplore (for engineering journals).
  • ERIC (for education journals).
  • Embase (for health journals).

Year 4+ (2029 onwards) — Impact Factor Era

Once Scopus and WoS listings are achieved:

  • Scopus CiteScore.
  • SJR (SCImago Journal Rank).
  • SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper).
  • Web of Science Impact Factor (JCR).
  • Quartile rankings (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4).

Real-Time Status

Visit our live Indexing Status dashboard for current status across all journals. Each journal has its own dedicated page at /[journal-acronym]/indexing-status.

Honesty about timelines
Major index applications (Scopus, WoS) typically take 12 to 24 months for evaluation after submission. We disclose every step of this process publicly. We will never claim indexing that has not been granted.
