Indexing and Discovery

Built for Maximum Research Visibility

JOD improves discoverability through structured metadata, DOI registration, and open access distribution. Our publishing workflow supports indexing and discovery across scholarly search engines, library catalogs, and academic aggregators so your research can be found, read, and cited globally. This visibility also helps authors meet institutional and funder access expectations.

Why Indexing Matters

Visibility That Supports Clinical and Social Impact

Indexing vs Discovery

Indexing ensures citation integrity and permanent identification through structured metadata and DOI registration. Discovery platforms help readers locate your work in searches and library catalogs. JOD supports both, giving your article the best chance of being found and cited.

Metadata and DOIs

We create consistent metadata, reference linking, and DOI registration to ensure long term access. This supports accurate citation, reliable linking, and long term preservation across scholarly infrastructure.

Visibility Timeline

After publication, discovery platforms typically begin indexing within days. Timing varies by service and crawler schedule, but our structured feeds and sitemaps accelerate visibility across major academic channels.

What We Guarantee

JOD provides DOI assignment, structured metadata, and open access distribution for every published article. These elements are within our direct control and are critical foundations for indexing and discovery. We also maintain consistent article pages to support reliable crawling and citation.

What Depends on Third Parties

Discovery and indexing schedules vary by platform. While we submit metadata and enable crawling, external services determine their own update cycles and inclusion rules. We publish only verifiable claims about indexing and encourage authors to verify discovery in their preferred platforms.

PubMed and PMC

Not all JOD articles are indexed in PubMed. Articles funded by agencies that require deposit may be eligible for PubMed Central (PMC) submission by authors or funders. Once deposited in PMC, these articles can appear in PubMed searches.

How to Verify Visibility

If you have questions about specific discovery services or want confirmation of indexing pathways, contact the editorial office at [email protected]. We provide transparent guidance and will help verify what is supported for your article.

Visibility is built on trust. JOD focuses on transparent metadata, ethical publishing, and open access distribution to help your research reach the widest possible audience.
