Discovery Services

Journals and other content are indexed for search engines by various discovery services that index our content. We also send our journal metadata to Crossref and register a DOI number for each article which makes the articles easy to find and cite. In addition to the indexers above, others obtain our metadata directly from CrossRef, further expanding the exposure your article receives.
