Indexing Policy

DScholar Press International is committed to maximizing the visibility, discoverability, and academic impact of all published scholarly works through systematic indexing and dissemination practices. Published manuscripts are prepared in accordance with international metadata and publishing standards to facilitate submission and eligibility for indexing in reputable academic databases.

The Press ensures that all publications are structured with standardised metadata, persistent identifiers (DOI/ISBN where applicable), and citation-ready formatting to support inclusion in indexing services such as Google Scholar and other recognised academic search engines. Where appropriate, publications may also be submitted or made available for consideration by indexing databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, and other institutional or subject-specific indexing platforms.

However, inclusion in any external indexing database is subject to the independent evaluation criteria, selection policies, and approval processes of each indexing service. DScholar Press International does not guarantee indexing in any external database.

The Press continuously works to improve publication quality, editorial standards, peer review integrity, and metadata quality to enhance the likelihood of acceptance by indexing and abstracting services.

This policy ensures transparency while maintaining alignment with international scholarly publishing ethics and indexing requirements.
