What we don’t count

We do not publish an “impact” figure, and we do not promise indexation. No service provider can deliver a journal into Scopus, DOAJ or ERIH PLUS; only the journal’s own quality does that.

What we do is prepare a journal to meet every technical and editorial criterion those indexes publish, keep it compliant after acceptance, and show our work. The numbers above are the record of that.
