indexing

The Journal of Higher Education Service Science and Management (JoHESSM) is committed to enhancing the international visibility, accessibility, and discoverability of its published research through reputable scholarly indexing, abstracting, and academic discovery services.

The journal is working towards broader inclusion in internationally recognised platforms and databases, including Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), EBSCO, ProQuest, Dimensions, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, WorldCat, BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine), CORE, ERIH PLUS, ROAD, Index Copernicus International, and ResearchBib. JoHESSM also recognises the importance of bibliographic registration, persistent identifiers, and accurate metadata dissemination through services such as Crossref.

As part of its long-term international development strategy, JoHESSM is actively working towards meeting the editorial, scientific, ethical, and technical requirements for inclusion in Scopus. This involves strengthening editorial governance, maintaining rigorous peer-review standards, improving publication quality and consistency, promoting international scholarly participation, and ensuring transparent publishing policies.

The journal's indexing strategy reflects its commitment to responsible scholarly communication and the international dissemination of original research. Inclusion in any database or indexing service remains subject to independent evaluation and the respective provider's selection criteria.

JoHESSM will publish and regularly update its list of confirmed indexing and abstracting services following official verification. Planned applications, ongoing evaluations, and future indexing objectives will be clearly distinguished from confirmed inclusion.
