Visibility Across Scholarly Platforms
Indexing vs Discovery
Indexing ensures permanent identification and citation integrity through DOI registration and metadata standards. Discovery platforms such as Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex make articles searchable for readers. IIIJ supports both by maintaining high quality metadata and immediate open access publication.
Metadata Quality and Speed
Accurate metadata is essential for visibility. We maintain structured titles, abstracts, keywords, and author information so that platforms can ingest articles quickly. This enables discovery soon after publication and helps researchers find relevant work across laboratory, clinical, and computational domains.
Library and Repository Systems
IIIJ content is optimized for library systems and research repositories that rely on standardized metadata and sitemaps. This supports institutional access and long term discoverability beyond major search engines.
PubMed and PMC Note
Not all articles are indexed in PubMed. Articles funded by agencies that require deposit in PubMed Central may be deposited by the authors, and once deposited, these articles become discoverable through PubMed. Authors should follow funder requirements and include grant details at submission.
Metadata Updates
If an article is corrected or updated, IIIJ maintains the metadata record so that indexing services reflect the latest version. This keeps citations accurate and ensures readers access the most reliable information.
Author Responsibilities
Accurate author names, affiliations, and keywords improve discovery. Provide consistent identifiers and ORCID information where available to strengthen indexing quality.
Discoverability is a core promise of open access. IIIJ invests in metadata quality and DOI infrastructure so that integrative research can be found, cited, and reused globally.
Increase Your Research Visibility
Publish with IIIJ to make your in vitro, in vivo, or in silico research discoverable across major scholarly platforms. Accurate abstracts and keywords improve indexing, and the editorial office can advise on best practices. We update metadata promptly after publication.
