The journal's record in other sources:Web of Science MJLDOAJ

Everything shown here is produced automatically from named sources (DOAJ, OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed, the Norwegian register) as of its capture date, with no human editing. Facts appear as recorded at the source; derived scores (PCI, PTD, PublishLens score) follow a published methodology. Not a judgement on the journal, not an official accreditation, not advice.

Wrong items are corrected automatically by re-reading the source (24 h for daily sources, 7 days for weekly ones) with a dated change log, and each item links to its source record. PublishLens-derived assessments are contested through the appeals mechanism (15 working days). Appeals · Indicator guide
