Journal Indexing
Discovery and integrity for addiction research
Structured metadata and open access files support discovery across research platforms.
Indexing improves visibility, citation tracking, and long term access.
Discovery Platforms
The journal supports discovery through academic search services, library catalogs, and open access aggregators. Visibility depends on accurate metadata and consistent formatting.
Google Scholar
WorldCat
Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex
CORE and BASE
Integrity and Compliance
Crossref Similarity Check supports originality screening and protects the scholarly record. Metadata validation improves citation accuracy.
Not all articles are eligible for PubMed. Funded studies that require PubMed Central deposit can become discoverable once deposited.
Metadata Quality Tips
- Use concise, informative titles that reflect study design
- Provide complete author names and affiliations
- Include ORCID identifiers when available
- List funder names and grant numbers accurately
Accurate metadata improves linking across databases and supports institutional reporting.
Clean metadata also reduces errors in citation tracking and improves interoperability across platforms.
Persistent Identifiers
DOIs provide permanent links to published articles, while repository identifiers support data and code access. Consistent identifiers improve citation tracking across platforms.
Indexing Readiness Checklist
- Accurate titles and author names
- Complete references with DOIs
- Clear abstracts and keywords
- Stable repository links for data and code
Consistent formatting improves automated harvesting across services.
Accurate indexing strengthens long term discoverability.
Indexing Workflow
Metadata creation
Editorial checks confirm titles, author names, and references
Persistent identifiers
DOIs and repository links are assigned and validated
File preparation
HTML, PDF, and XML outputs support platform requirements
Harvesting
Search engines and aggregators index the published content
Author Actions to Support Indexing
- Use precise keywords aligned with addiction and rehabilitation outcomes
- Provide complete author affiliations and funding details
- Include DOIs in references when available
- Supply clear data availability statements and repository identifiers
Clear abstracts and structured keywords improve discoverability across scholarly platforms.
Well structured references and transparent data statements increase linkage across research graphs and institutional repositories.
Post Publication Visibility
Authors can improve visibility by sharing the published link with institutional repositories and professional networks, always preserving the final citation and license information.
Consistent citations and repository deposits improve long term discovery and help research evaluation teams track impact.
Accurate author identifiers improve attribution across search platforms and grant reporting systems.
