Get your journal to the standard the indexes actually check

Three tools, one journal profile: Journal Audit tells you where you stand against the 36 parameters an evaluator uses, GetIndexed prepares and tracks every index application, and DOI Doctor registers, repairs and watches your DOIs, metadata and preservation copies. Your Journal Trust Rating rises as you fix things — and that is the rating authors and institutions see.

1 · Journal Audit

A crawl of your site against the parameters UGC-CARE, DOAJ and Scopus evaluators check: policies, board, archives, licensing, metadata, ethics. You get a score, a readiness verdict and a fix list with exact page URLs.

2 · GetIndexed

Once the audit is close, apply. A curated directory of real indexes with their true requirements, an application pack generated from your profile, and status tracking with follow-up dates — plus archive and reference tools.

3 · DOI Doctor

Census of every article versus every DOI, repair of broken links and thin metadata, backfile registration sheets in your sponsor's format, weekly monitoring, JATS XML, author citation mails.

Where to start, honestly

If you have never been audited: run the audit first — most journals fail index applications on things that take a week to fix and cost nothing. If your DOIs are already registered but links break or metadata is thin: start with the DOI census; broken DOIs are the fastest way to lose an index listing you already have. If you have no DOIs at all: DOI Doctor's backfile mode produces the registration sheets, and we can introduce you to a Crossref sponsor.

We do not sell impact factors, guaranteed indexing, or "fast-track" placement, and we will tell you when your journal is not ready. Our policies →
