Journal Indexing and Discovery

Arthritis Research and Therapy is built for visibility and citation integrity. Every accepted article is prepared with structured metadata, DOI registration, and open access publishing so clinicians, researchers, and policy leaders can discover and cite your work quickly.

Indexing and Research Integrity

Indexing is more than a list of platforms. It includes infrastructure that protects the scientific record and ensures reliable citation tracking. We use established systems to maintain current article versions and to screen for originality during editorial review.

CrossMark Version Control

Readers can rely on outdated versions if updates are not tracked.
CrossMark provides a trusted status signal so readers access the most current version.

Similarity Check Screening

Undetected overlap weakens trust and delays publication.
Similarity checks help confirm originality and reinforce research integrity.

DOI Registration

Articles without persistent identifiers are harder to cite and track.
DOIs provide permanent links for citation and long term access.

Structured Metadata

Search engines cannot index content without complete metadata.
Standardized metadata improves discoverability across academic platforms.

Discovery Channels

Open access articles are discoverable through major scholarly search engines and library systems. Our publishing workflow supports visibility through widely used discovery tools that researchers rely on every day.

Google Scholar

Research impact drops when articles are hard to find quickly.
Articles surface in Google Scholar for rapid global discovery.

WorldCat (OCLC)

Library visibility is limited when metadata is incomplete.
WorldCat improves institutional reach through library catalogs.

Open Discovery Platforms

New research can be missed in specialist communities.
Open platforms surface content through structured crawling and metadata.

Academic Profiles

Authors need consistent signals for citation tracking.
Standard metadata supports author profiles and institutional reporting.

Additional Discovery Services

Open metadata and standardized article structure help broader platforms discover and index published articles. These services typically use automated crawling rather than formal evaluation, but they expand readership and citation pathways.

SS

Semantic Scholar discovery via open metadata and citations.

OA

OpenAlex indexing for global scholarly analytics.

CORE

CORE aggregation for open access research discovery.

BASE

BASE search integration for academic open access content.

How Visibility Works

Visibility is a process. Our production workflow ensures that accepted articles reach discovery platforms quickly and remain accessible long term.

1

Acceptance

Final files and metadata are validated.

2

Registration

DOI and CrossMark data are deposited.

3

Publication

HTML, PDF, and XML are published online.

4

Discovery

Search engines and libraries index the article.

Indexing Clarifications

Indexing vs. discovery

Indexing includes formal identifiers and integrity services such as DOIs and CrossMark. Discovery refers to search engines and library systems that surface content for readers.

How quickly will my article appear?

Most discovery platforms index articles shortly after publication once metadata and files are live.

Are all articles indexed in PubMed?

Not all articles are listed in PubMed. NIH funded or mandated articles may be deposited in PubMed Central when required by funders.
