One of the objectives of scientific journals is such selection of published articles, that ensures significant impact of the distributed content on science development. For science development to be possible, it is necessary to deliver research results to their designated recipients, the scientists, that will most probably use that data in their future work.

In bibliometrics, citations are an indicator of a wider use of the content published in a journal. Increasing citeability is possible when appropriate editorial standards have been implemented in a journal, including and above all else, the review process and mechanisms related to digitalization.

The journal's indexation in international repositories is a confirmation of the editorial staff's high care for the quality of services. Availability of articles in multiple spaces, transparency of the journal’s online version, and implementing publication ethics principles increase citability.

Assessment of a journal’s fulfillment of the requirements currently set by the international scientific community requires a comprehensive analysis that goes beyond the scope of the current survey for the ICI Journals Master List database, in which your journal presently appears.

Therefore, we offer you an opportunity to take advantage of extended assessment – „Indexation Potentiality Evaluation”, within which the level of preparedness for indexation, represented by the periodical you run, will be assessed. Information from the current ICI Journals Master List survey, the journal's website, and reviews of articles published in the year being assessed will be used to carry out the analysis.

The price of the service is dependent on the amount of databases selected, hence the cost of criteria verification: 1 database = 300 EUR, 2 databases = 400 EUR, 3 databases = 460 EUR, 4 databases = 500 EUR.

Thanks to the acquired information, it will be possible to precisely estimate to what capacity your journal complies with the standards set by other leading repositories. Identification of the occurring deficiencies will allow for the initiation of the process of directional changes in the functioning of the journal and the quality of the editorial services provided. Knowledge of additional parameters will enable better preparation in the application procedure for indexing in international databases, which is currently one of the most important challenges faced by editors of scientific journals.

Within the „Indexation Potentiality Evaluation” you may take advantage of the current indexation criteria fulfillment analysis in:

As a result of the assessment, within 14 days you will receive a PDF report, containing:

•  the journal’s determined preparedness level for indexation in the databases selected for evaluation; 
•  a list of fulfilled and unfulfilled indexation criteria; 
•  detailed recommendations on the areas requiring improvement. 

We invite you to take advantage of the offered analysis.
