Determine which databases index a specific journal
To increase the chances of having your publications viewed by others, make sure the journal is included in the major databases of your subject discipline. Most databases provide a list of journals indexed.
Here is a list of a few major interdisciplinary databases (in no particular order). Check for inclusion of your journal in one or more of the following journal lists:
UlrichsWeb Global Serials Directory
-
UlrichsWebUlrichsWeb is an excellent resource to use for identifying databases that index a journal you are considering. It lists the abstracting and indexing information and indicates whether a journal is peer-reviewed/refereed. This saves you from having to search journal coverage lists in each database you think might possibly cover a journal. Search for your journal title in UlrichsWeb and click on the title link to locate the Abstracting & Indexing information for that journal.
Using Journal "About" Pages
Many journal websites will feature an "about" page that will often include information information regarding which services provide abstracting and indexing for that title.
