Long-Term Indexing & Abstracting Goals

As the journal matures and demonstrates sustained publication quality and ethical compliance, JCAM aims to apply for evaluation by major international indexing databases, including:

  • Web of Science Core Collection (ESCI / SCIE)
  • PubMed / PubMed Central (PMC)
  • EMBASE (Elsevier)

These databases require a proven publishing track record, strong editorial governance, ethical rigor, and technical consistency. JCAM is committed to meeting these criteria as part of its long-term strategic development.

Each indexing service follows an independent evaluation process, and the journal’s indexing status will be updated on the website only after official confirmation.
