Indexing status

This journal has no impact factor and no CiteScore, because it has not published long enough to have one. Below is where every real application stands. Nothing on this page is aspirational.

What you will not find here. We do not display an "Index Copernicus Value", a "Global Impact Factor", an "SJIF" or any of the purchased metrics that circulate in this space, and we do not list Google Scholar as an index — it is a search engine that crawls everything. If you are assessing this journal against Think. Check. Submit., this page is written to be checked.

Status of each application, and what has to happen next
Register	Status	What it requires
Crossref DOIs	Registered	Every article receives a DOI under the prefix 10.71234, deposited with Crossref including references, ORCID iDs, ROR identifiers and a machine-readable licence.
ISSN	Applied for	Through the ISSN National Centre at the King Fahd National Library, Riyadh. No journal should publish without one, and the number can be verified independently at issn.org.
DOAJ	Not yet eligible	The Directory of Open Access Journals requires either a year of publishing or ten open access research articles before it will consider an application, together with at least five named editors and two independent reviewers per article. We will apply on the day we qualify and publish the outcome here.
PubMed Central	Not yet eligible	PMC vets the publisher, not the title. The application rests on the leadership exception to the publisher-experience rule; it cannot be filed until a first volume exists.
Scopus	Not yet eligible	Scopus requires a publication history it can assess. We intend to apply once two volumes are complete.
Web of Science	Not yet eligible	Clarivate’s triage requires a verifiable ISSN, a physical publisher address, and a clear public commitment to peer review. All three are in place; the publication record is not yet.
Preservation	CLOCKSS, PORTICO	Content is deposited so that it survives the publisher. A journal without a preservation arrangement is not archived, whatever its website says.

Why we are telling you this

Authors choosing where to submit rate journal reputation and prestige above almost everything else, and a new journal has neither. What it can offer instead is scope fit, a review process described in operational detail, and honesty about its own position. The alternative — implying indexing that does not exist — buys submissions from people who will be harmed when they discover the truth at promotion.
