Indexing of Journal

Indexing and repositories play distinct yet complementary roles in enhancing the academic value and visibility of a journal. Indexing refers to the inclusion of a journal in recognized abstracting and bibliographic databases that evaluate journals based on quality parameters such as editorial standards, publication ethics, regularity, and impact. Being indexed in reputable indexing agencies increases the academic credibility, citation impact, and research value of the journal, making it more trusted by authors, researchers, and institutions.

On the other hand, a repository functions as a digital archive or storage platform where published papers are deposited, preserved, and made accessible to a wider audience. Repositories improve the discoverability and global reach of research by providing free access, facilitating downloads, and increasing citation potential. They ensure long-term preservation of scholarly work and enhance online visibility through search engine optimization and academic networking.

In summary, indexing strengthens the academic ranking and recognition of a journal, while repositories ensure wider accessibility, global dissemination, and long-term availability of published papers. Both together contribute significantly to increasing the journal’s overall impact and visibility in the scholarly community.
