A perennial hot topic among new and seasoned journal editors, this session discussed journal indexing.
Presented by Elsevier Publisher Michelle Feng He, and hosted by EASE President & Reviewer Experience Lead at Elsevier, Bahar Mehmani, the session explained the inclusion criteria for three major journal indexes; Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, detailing measures including required editorial standards and publication performance, content and compliance of aims & scope and editorial policies that can make acceptance more likely. The session also described the common reasons journals fail their applications and offered advice on how to avoid a disappointing result, as well as what to do if you get rejected. Finally, the event included a note on the standards journals must exhibit for these indexes to remove titles from their databases.
This webinar is suitable for editors, societies, publishers, and anyone involved in the management of scholarly journals.
