Indexing, Abstracting, and Metadata Services

Social Sciences Journal (SSJ)  |  e-ISSN 3047-7646

Social Sciences Journal (SSJ) is discoverable through the registries, metadata infrastructures, scholarly search services, citation databases, and journal directories listed below. Each service has a different function and level of selection; therefore, inclusion in one service must not be represented as equivalent to inclusion in another.

RegistryConfirms identifiers and bibliographic metadata.
Discovery ServiceHelps users find scholarly articles and citations.
Journal DirectoryProvides a third-party journal record or listing.
Important distinction
This page does not claim that Social Sciences Journal is indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, or DOAJ unless a direct and verifiable title record from the relevant service is displayed. DOI registration, an ISSN record, a search-engine result, or a third-party directory listing is not equivalent to Scopus or Web of Science coverage.

1. Official Identification and Metadata Registries

These services identify the journal or register persistent article metadata. They support discoverability and citation linking but should be described as registries or metadata infrastructure, not as selective citation indexes.

2. National and Scholarly Discovery Services

The following services provide national aggregation, scholarly discovery, citation searching, or source-level visibility. Coverage may be generated through metadata harvesting, DOI feeds, web crawling, or the service's own data agreements.

3. Additional Journal Directories

These links lead to third-party journal records or directory listings. Their inclusion criteria, update schedules, metrics, and quality-assurance practices are independently controlled by each provider. A directory listing should not be described as a Scopus, Web of Science, or DOAJ indexation.

4. Coverage Verification

Service Type What the Link Demonstrates What It Does Not Prove
ISSN Portal A confirmed serial title and e-ISSN record. Citation impact or Scopus coverage.
Crossref Registered DOI and publication metadata searchable through Crossref. Selective journal evaluation.
Discovery or citation service A searchable journal, source, article, or citation record within that service. Equivalent standards across services.
Third-party directory A directory record maintained by an independent provider. Accreditation or recognized impact metrics.

5. Accuracy and Maintenance Policy

  • Every logo must link directly to a journal, source, ISSN, DOI-metadata, or citation record—not merely to a service homepage or a personal folder.
  • The journal will not display a service as an index when it functions only as a registry, search engine, identifier system, repository, or directory.
  • The journal will not describe itself as indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, or DOAJ without a verifiable title record in the relevant official database.
  • Logos and links are reviewed periodically. Broken links, discontinued services, unverified profiles, and inaccurate coverage claims should be removed or corrected promptly.
  • Metrics supplied by third parties must identify their source and must not be presented as Journal Impact Factor, CiteScore, SJR, or another recognized metric unless issued by the corresponding official provider.
  • External listing does not constitute endorsement of the journal by the service, nor endorsement of the service by the journal or publisher.
