Abstracting and Indexing

ASSRJ works to make its published content discoverable through scholarly search services, academic databases, library discovery systems, DOI services and general search engines.

Persistent identifiers and reference linking

The journal assigns DOIs to published articles where applicable. DOI registration supports persistent identification, citation linking and reliable discovery. Authors and readers should quote the DOI when citing or sharing an article. For transparency, the journal is careful to distinguish DOI registration and search-engine visibility, which are routine, from acceptance by a selective abstracting and indexing database, which is not equivalent.

Indexing and abstracting services

ASSRJ seeks to have its content included in reputable indexing and abstracting services relevant to the social sciences. To maintain transparency and comply with best practice, the journal lists only those services in which it is genuinely included, with links that readers can verify.
