non-indexed journals.

4. Journal indexes are created by different
organizations
such as:
a) Public bodies.For example,PubMedis
maintained by the U S National Library

Elsevierand maintained by theScopus Content
Selection and Advisory Board.
Scopus includes journals in all disciplines,
but the majority are science and technology
journals.

6. Some indexes are open to the public, while others require a
subscription.
We start searching for research papers in free search engines
such as
Google Scholar, or
free journal indexes, such as
theWeb of Science Master Journal List.
Journals in subscription-based indexes are generally
considered high-quality journals.

7. How does journal indexing work?
All journals are checked for certain criteria before being
added to an index.
Each index has its own set of rules, but basic publishing
standardsinclude the following:
1) An International Standard Serial Number (ISSN).
ISSNs are unique to each journal and indicate that the
journal publishes issues on a recurring basis.
2) An established publishing schedule.

8. 3) Digital Object Identifier : DOIs are unique
letter/number codes assigned to digital objects.
The benefit of a DOI is that it will never change,
unlike a website link.
4) Copyright requirements.
A copyright policy helps to protect your work and
for the use or sharing of your work.
•Other requirements can include conflict of interest
statements, ethical approval statements, an editorial board
listed on the website, and published peer review policies.

9. Why is journal indexing important?
1.Publishing the research in an indexed journal increases the
credibility and visibility of the work.
2.Indexed journals are generally consideredto be of higher
scientific qualitythan non-indexed journals.
3.Most of the Institutions are requiring publication in an
indexed journal as a requirement for
graduation, promotion, or grant funding.

10. Why is journal indexing important?
4. As an author, it is important to ensure that your research is
seen by as many eyes as possible.
Index databases are often the first places scholars and the
public will search for specific information.

11. Open access Journals
These journals are completely open access,
meaning they do not offer a traditional
subscription service.
Open access journals have many benefits, such as:
High visibility.
Publication speed.

13. Impact factor :
First introduced by Eugene Garfield, the founder of the Institute
for Scientific Information.
It is a the average number of citations to articles published in
journals,
books,
thesis,
project reports,
conference/seminar proceedings,
and any other approved documents.

14. Impact factor :
Is used to evaluatethe relative importance of a journal within
its field.
It measure the frequencywith which the “article” in a journal
has been citedin a particular time period.
According to Eugene Garfield “Impact Factorsimply reflects
the ability of
the journals and editors to attract the best paper available.”

15. Impact factor :
Impact factor can be calculatedafter completing the minimum
of 3 years of publication.
That’s why new journals do not have Impact factor.
The Impact Factor applies only to journals,
not to
individual articlesor individual scientists.

16. Impact factor :
IF of a journal is the average number of citations received per
article publishedin that journal during the 2 preceding years.
Example :
If a journal has an IF of 3in 2008, then its papers published in
2006 and 2007 received 3 citations each on average in 2008.
The 2008 IFs are actually published in 2009.
31-07-2024 16

17. Impact factor :
IF of any journal may be calculated by the formula:
2008 impact factor =A/B
Where
Ais the number of times articles publishedin 2006and 2007
were cited, by indexed journals during 2008.
Bis the total number of articles and reviews published by that
journalin 2006 and 2007.

It started getting widely popular around USA for its waterproof boots
around 70's.
This was the time they recognized the brand Timberland and expanded
rapidly across the Globe.
India wasn't as big retail market as it is now in the 90's.
So Timberland didn't bothered to look at India as a potential market.

This means that, on average, its papers published in
2015 and 2016 received roughly 42 citations each in
2017.
Note that 2017 impact factors are reported in 2018
Nature Journal is having an impact factor of 41.577 in 2017
