Abstracting and Indexing
How DAFS supports the discoverability of its content through persistent identifiers, accurate metadata and indexing services.
DAFS 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, registered with Crossref under the prefix 10.14738, supporting persistent identification, citation linking and reliable discovery. Authors and readers should quote the DOI when citing or sharing an article. For transparency, the journal distinguishes 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
DAFS seeks inclusion in reputable indexing and abstracting services relevant to the agricultural and food sciences. In keeping with best practice, the journal lists only those services in which it is genuinely included, with links that readers can verify.
Article metadata
To support discovery and accurate citation, each article record carries complete and consistent metadata, including:
| ▸ | article title, and author names and affiliations; |
| ▸ | ORCID iDs where supplied; |
| ▸ | abstract and keywords; |
| ▸ | references, DOI and publication date; |
| ▸ | volume and issue; |
| ▸ | copyright holder and Creative Commons licence; and |
| ▸ | correction or retraction status, where applicable. |
