Journal Indexing

Maximize the visibility and reach of preventive medicine research through trusted indexing pathways.

Indexing is essential for prevention research to influence practice and policy. JPMC prioritizes visibility through high-quality metadata, standardized reporting, and proactive outreach to indexing services and discovery platforms.

Our goal is to ensure that every accepted article is easy to find, easy to cite, and easy to apply in real-world prevention programs, clinical guidelines, and public health planning.

JPMC maintains core identifiers and metadata services that support reliable citation, cataloging, and discovery across platforms.

• ISSN registration for consistent journal identification across catalogs and libraries
• DOI assignment and metadata registration via Crossref for persistent links and citation tracking
• Google Scholar discoverability supported subject to Google Scholar inclusion and crawling guidelines
• OAI-PMH endpoint for metadata harvesting

• Structured metadata distribution to leading discovery services and library catalogs
• CrossRef DOI registration for persistent citation tracking and link integrity
• Ongoing submission of journal content to discipline-relevant databases
• Compliance with indexing requirements for ethical publishing and transparency
• Robust XML and machine-readable metadata to improve search results
• Open access dissemination that removes barriers to readership

• Accurate author, affiliation, and funding data
• Clear abstracts and keyword selection for discoverability
• Linking of datasets and clinical trial registrations
• Consistent reporting of ethics and consent details
• Standardized references with DOI links where available
• Complete acknowledgments and contributor roles

• Concise, descriptive titles that reflect prevention outcomes
• Keywords aligned with recognized prevention and public health terms
• Structured abstracts with measurable results
• Persistent identifiers for datasets, protocols, and trials
• Consistent author metadata across submissions
• Clear funding and conflict disclosures

Authors play a direct role in discoverability. Well-structured titles, precise keywords, and informative abstracts help indexing services classify research correctly.

JPMC continually enhances indexing coverage to expand the visibility of preventive medicine research. Submitting complete metadata and clear data statements accelerates processing and improves long-term access.

• Use specific, outcome-focused keywords that reflect prevention impact
• Provide trial registration IDs and repository links when applicable
• Confirm author ORCID IDs for accurate attribution
• Ensure funding and conflict statements are complete

In addition to indexing, JPMC promotes articles through open access distribution, targeted outreach, and journal communications that reach prevention stakeholders.

High-quality metadata improves not only database indexing but also search engine discovery, policy brief visibility, and citation tracking.

• Article acceptance and DOI registration
• Metadata validation and XML preparation
• Submission to indexing and discovery services
• Ongoing updates to ensure citation accuracy
• Long-term archiving for persistent access

• Provide concise, outcome-focused titles and keywords
• Use consistent author names and affiliations
• Include funding details and grant identifiers
• Ensure abstracts highlight prevention outcomes

Following these practices improves indexing accuracy and helps prevention evidence reach practitioners, policy makers, and global health networks.

Better indexing supports citation growth, policy adoption, and long-term visibility for prevention research across global audiences.
