How we make research discoverable and preserve it for the long term.
Discoverability and permanence are essential to the value of published research. We use open standards and persistent identifiers so that our content can be reliably found, cited, harvested, and preserved.
As a Crossref member, we assign a permanent Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to every published article, ensuring stable citation and linking. We support ORCID to unambiguously identify authors.
Our open metadata enables harvesting by major discovery infrastructures, including OpenAlex and Google Scholar. We are actively pursuing evaluation and inclusion in additional abstracting and indexing databases; the current indexing status of each journal is shown on its journal page as it is confirmed. We do not claim coverage by any database until inclusion is verified.
To safeguard the version of record, our content is prepared for long-term digital preservation through recognised preservation infrastructures (such as community archiving networks). Preservation enrolment is maintained on a per-journal basis and reflected transparently on journal pages.
We follow community standards for metadata quality and completeness because accurate, machine-readable metadata is the foundation of discovery, citation, and preservation.
