Indexing and Abstracting

IJDCR is committed to responsible indexing and discoverability practices.

Current indexing

The journal lists only indexing and abstracting services in which it is formally included. Each listing is verifiable and, where possible, linked directly to the indexing service.

Indexing targets

IJDCR may apply to reputable indexing and abstracting databases after meeting eligibility and quality criteria. Such services are clearly labelled as:

• “Applied to” or
• “Planned”

Transparency and eligibility

IJDCR aligns its policies with the transparency and quality requirements used by major indexing systems, including:

• Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ): https://doaj.org/
• DOAJ Transparency Principles: https://doaj.org/apply/transparency/

The journal avoids listing:

• Fake or non-verifiable metrics
• Predatory or non-transparent databases

Discoverability

To enhance visibility, IJDCR ensures:

• Complete and accurate article metadata
• Clear journal identifiers (e-ISSN)
• Stable article landing pages
