Indexing and Abstracting
IJMIE is committed to maximizing the discoverability and citation of the research it publishes. As a newly established journal (first volume 2026), the journal is actively working toward inclusion in the major citation and discovery databases while ensuring its metadata meets their technical requirements from the outset.
This page states the journal's indexing status transparently. Do not claim coverage in a database until inclusion is officially confirmed — indexers and readers verify these claims, and false claims are grounds for rejection. Update the status column below as applications progress.
Current Indexing & Discovery
| Service | Type | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Crossref | DOI registration | Active [confirm membership] |
| Google Scholar | Discovery | Indexed automatically on publication |
| OAI-PMH | Metadata harvesting | Enabled |
| ORCID | Author identifiers | Integrated |
Targeted Databases (Applications in Progress)
The journal is preparing or has submitted applications to the following, in line with each database's eligibility criteria (typically requiring a track record of regular, ethically sound, peer-reviewed publication):
| Database | Status |
|---|---|
| Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) | [preparing / applied on DATE] |
| Scopus (Elsevier) | [eligibility building — target after 2 years of consistent output] |
| Web of Science — Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) | [preparing] |
| Crossref / Cited-by | [active] |
| Dimensions, Scilit, Lens.org | [auto-harvested from Crossref] |
