Abstracting and Indexing

The Journal of Multidisciplinary Engineering Research (JMER) is committed to increasing the discoverability, accessibility, and visibility of published research through appropriate academic search, abstracting, and indexing services.

1. Indexing and Abstracting Services

JMER seeks inclusion in reputable academic databases, abstracting services, scholarly search engines, and indexing platforms that are relevant to the journal's multidisciplinary engineering scope.

The journal will only identify a service as an official indexing or abstracting platform after JMER has been formally accepted or listed by that service.

2. Google Scholar

Published JMER articles may be made available for discovery through Google Scholar, subject to Google's indexing and technical requirements.

Authors are encouraged to provide accurate bibliographic information and use the correct article citation details when sharing their published research.

3. Article Discoverability

JMER works to improve the discoverability of published articles through:

  • Search-engine-friendly article metadata.
  • Accurate article titles and author information.
  • Abstracts and keywords.
  • Persistent article identifiers such as DOI, where assigned.
  • Online accessibility of published articles.
  • Appropriate scholarly indexing and abstracting services.

4. Responsible Indexing Claims

JMER does not claim inclusion in an indexing or abstracting database solely because its articles are searchable on the internet.

The journal will distinguish between:

  • Official indexing: The journal has been formally accepted or listed by the service.
  • Article discoverability: Individual articles may be searchable through an academic search engine or indexing platform.
  • Application under consideration: The journal has applied for inclusion but has not yet received acceptance.

This approach is intended to provide authors with accurate and transparent information about the journal's indexing status.

5. Updating Indexing Information

The Editorial Board will periodically review and update the journal's indexing and abstracting information as new applications are accepted.

Authors and readers are encouraged to consult the JMER website for the most current information regarding the journal's abstracting and indexing status.

6. Author Responsibility

Authors should accurately cite their JMER publications using the bibliographic information provided by the journal.

Authors should not make unsupported claims about the indexing status of JMER articles or the journal when promoting their publications.

7. Commitment to Visibility

JMER is committed to expanding the international visibility and accessibility of high-quality multidisciplinary engineering research while maintaining accurate, verifiable, and transparent indexing information.
