Abstracting, Indexing, and Discoverability

The International Journal of Ayush Darpan (IJAD) is a newly established scholarly journal. The journal is not currently claiming inclusion in any abstracting, indexing, cataloging, DOI-registration, or independent digital-preservation service.

After regular publication begins and IJAD meets the eligibility requirements of the relevant organizations, the journal may apply for inclusion in appropriate scholarly services.

Potential future applications may include:

• Google Scholar

• AYUSH Research Portal

• PKP Index

• WorldCat

• Other appropriate scholarly databases and discovery services

Application to or consideration by an organization does not guarantee acceptance. A service will be listed as active on this page only after participation or inclusion has been formally confirmed and can be independently verified.

DOI Registration

DOI registration for published articles is planned.

Crossref is a DOI-registration organization and should not be described simply as an indexing database. IJAD will claim Crossref participation and assign Crossref DOIs only after an active registration arrangement has been established.

Current DOI Status: Planned

Digital Preservation

IJAD intends to establish participation in a suitable independent digital-preservation service after publication begins.

Until formal participation is confirmed, the journal will maintain operational website backups and organized issue-level records. Website backups do not constitute independent scholarly preservation.
