Journal Indexing
The International Journal of Glaucoma is committed to visibility, credibility, and long term preservation. We use structured metadata, consistent publishing workflows, and trusted scholarly systems to help your work reach the widest possible audience.
Indexing and discovery are not only about reach. They also communicate research integrity and support long term citation value.
Visibility built into the workflow
Indexing and discovery are essential for glaucoma research to influence practice. The International Journal of Glaucoma applies standardized metadata and consistent publishing workflows so articles can be discovered, cited, and preserved across trusted scholarly systems.
Our indexing approach focuses on transparent integrity signals and broad discovery channels. This combination improves credibility while ensuring your work is accessible to clinicians, libraries, and research platforms globally.
Integrity and trust signals
We prioritize services that document version control and originality screening. These safeguards reinforce research integrity and help readers rely on the published record.
Discovery channels
The journal supports discovery through academic search engines and library catalogs. Articles are structured so platforms can crawl titles, abstracts, keywords, and references efficiently.
- Google Scholar for academic search visibility
- WorldCat for library discovery and catalog integration
- Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex for research graph exposure
- CORE and BASE for open access aggregation
Indexing and discovery distinctions
Indexing confirms scholarly record integrity, while discovery improves findability. Together, they increase citation potential and make evidence accessible to clinicians and researchers who depend on reliable glaucoma literature.
We list only services that are relevant to visibility and integrity. If a platform changes its coverage, we update our information accordingly.
Core Indexing And Discovery Signals
CrossMark Version Control
Readers can confirm that they are viewing the current version of record and track updates or corrections when they occur.
Similarity Check
Editorial screening includes originality checks to protect against plagiarism and uphold publishing integrity.
Google Scholar
Optimized metadata supports rapid discovery by researchers and clinicians searching for glaucoma evidence.
WorldCat Libraries
Catalog visibility helps libraries and institutions include IJG content in curated research collections.
Research Graph Discovery
Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex connect articles to authors, institutions, and related research topics.
Discovery Timeline
After publication, discovery platforms typically index new articles within 24 to 48 hours, although timing can vary by service. We provide consistent metadata and open access files to accelerate discovery and long term access.
If you need confirmation about a specific discovery service, contact the editorial office and we will provide guidance.
