JES prioritizes structured metadata and DOI registration so evolutionary research is discoverable across scholarly platforms. Indexing helps evidence reach evolutionary biologists, ecologists, and biodiversity researchers worldwide.

Our production workflow includes metadata validation and citation checks to improve discoverability and long term accuracy.

JES maintains core identifiers and metadata services that support reliable citation, cataloging, and discovery across platforms.

• ISSN registration for consistent journal identification
• DOI assignment and metadata registration via Crossref
• Google Scholar discoverability subject to inclusion and crawling guidelines
• OAI-PMH endpoint for metadata harvesting: https://openaccesspub.org/oai (oai_dc)

• Accurate author names, affiliations, and ORCID identifiers
• Funding sources, grant numbers, and conflict disclosures
• Structured abstracts with clear objectives and results
• Discipline specific keywords for evolutionary biology
• Complete references with DOIs where available

Authors help improve discoverability by providing complete metadata, accurate references, and clear funding statements. Well structured abstracts and keywords improve visibility for evolutionary audiences.

• Include ORCID identifiers where available
• Use standardized evolutionary terminology and taxonomy
• Provide data repository links and accession numbers
• Ensure citations match reference lists

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].

• Provide ORCID identifiers for all authors to strengthen metadata matching.
• Use standardized evolutionary biology keywords and taxonomy terms where applicable.
• Include funding agency names and grant numbers for metadata completeness.
• Check that author affiliations include institution names and country information.
• Confirm DOI links are accurate and resolve correctly.
• Ensure references include year, volume, issue, and page ranges.
• Provide corresponding author email for indexing contact.
• Use structured abstracts with clear objectives and outcomes.
• Ensure article titles are descriptive and avoid unexplained acronyms.
• Check that supplementary files are referenced in the metadata.
• Verify keywords reflect phylogenetics, population genetics, or macroevolution.
• Confirm funding statements align with institutional reporting requirements.
• Include species names or clade names in keywords when relevant.
• Provide accession numbers and dataset identifiers in metadata.
• Ensure abbreviations are expanded in titles and abstracts for indexing.
• Use standardized taxonomic authorities or databases for species names.

JES is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing in evolutionary science. We emphasize reproducible phylogenetic and population genetic analyses, clear reporting of model assumptions, and ethical compliance in field and laboratory research.

The editorial office supports authors, editors, and reviewers with clear guidance and responsive communication. For questions about scope or workflow, contact [email protected].

We encourage open data, code sharing, and careful documentation of specimens and sequences to support replication and long-term reuse across the evolutionary biology community.
