Journal Indexing

Improve discoverability for HIV/AIDS clinical research and prevention evidence.

Indexing increases the visibility of HIV/AIDS research and helps clinicians and public health teams locate evidence that informs care and prevention decisions. JCRHAP prioritizes structured metadata and consistent reporting to support discovery across scholarly systems.

Our production workflow includes DOI registration, citation checks, and metadata validation to improve long term discoverability.

JCRHAP maintains core identifiers and supports OAI-PMH based metadata exposure for discovery systems and institutional repositories.

• ISSN registration for journal identification
• DOI assignment and metadata registration via Crossref
• OAI-PMH metadata exposure
• Structured XML to support indexing workflows

• Acceptance triggers metadata validation and DOI registration
• XML tagging ensures structured data for discovery systems
• Reference and citation checks align with Crossref standards
• Publication feeds update after final proofs are approved
• Post publication updates are applied when corrections occur

• Accurate author names, affiliations, and ORCID identifiers
• Funding sources, grant numbers, and conflict disclosures
• Structured abstracts with clear objectives and results
• HIV specific keywords and study design terms
• Complete references with DOI links where available

Search visibility improves when titles, abstracts, and keywords reflect HIV/AIDS terminology and outcomes. Use specific diagnostic, treatment, or prevention terms and describe endpoints clearly.

• Use precise HIV prevention and treatment keywords
• Include registry numbers or dataset identifiers
• Verify metadata during proof review
• Provide clear study design descriptors

Consistent dataset citation improves indexing accuracy and helps repositories link data to published articles. Include DOIs or accession numbers in both the data availability statement and references.

This linkage supports reproducibility and allows indexing systems to capture dataset relationships.

Indexing updates: Coverage can vary by platform and may update over time. If you need verification for a specific database or reporting requirement, contact [email protected].

JCRHAP emphasizes transparent methods and reproducible reporting. Manuscripts should clearly describe study design, cohort selection, intervention protocols, and outcome definitions.

We encourage authors to document analytic decisions, adherence measures, and follow up intervals. Clear reporting strengthens evidence quality and improves clinical interpretation.

Using structured reporting standards improves peer review efficiency and supports long term reuse of HIV/AIDS evidence.

• Use CONSORT, STROBE, or PRISMA
• Report adverse events and limitations
• Define primary and secondary outcomes
• Document follow up duration
• Provide transparent data statements

Open access publishing increases the reach of HIV/AIDS research across clinical, academic, and public health communities. Articles are immediately accessible to clinicians, program leaders, and policy teams.

JCRHAP supports DOI registration and metadata quality checks to improve discoverability and citation tracking. Clear titles and structured abstracts strengthen search visibility.

Authors can increase impact by sharing DOI links, depositing datasets, and communicating findings through professional networks.

• DOI registration for permanent access
• Metadata validation for indexing
• Open access for global readership
• Support for institutional reporting
• Guidance on sharing published work

The editorial office supports authors with scope checks, formatting guidance, and policy clarifications before and after submission. Early communication prevents delays and helps manuscripts meet HIV/AIDS research standards.

Authors receive clear decision letters and may request clarification on reviewer feedback or revision priorities. The team can advise on file preparation, data statements, and reporting standards.

For workflow questions or guidance on special issues, contact [email protected] and include the manuscript title and journal name.

• Scope check support before submission
• Guidance on reporting standards
• Help with data availability statements
• Clarification on revision expectations
• Support during proof review

Submissions move through initial screening, peer review, revision, and production. Each stage includes quality checks to ensure ethical compliance and accurate reporting.

JCRHAP aims to deliver decisions within the 2 to 4 week review window, depending on reviewer availability and manuscript complexity. Prompt author responses help keep timelines on track.

After acceptance, articles proceed to copyediting, proof review, and DOI registration before publication.

• Initial screening for scope and ethics
• Single blind peer review by experts
• Revision cycle based on reviewer input
• Production with copyediting and proofs
• Publication after final approval
