Indexing & Archiving
The Journal of Neuroscience and Neurological Disorders (JNND) ensures maximum discoverability and long-term accessibility of published articles through comprehensive indexing and archiving partnerships. By collaborating with global repositories, digital archives, and metadata services, JNND guarantees that each article remains permanently accessible, citable, and preserved for future generations of researchers and clinicians.
Indexing Databases
JNND articles are indexed in multiple international bibliographic and abstracting databases, enhancing visibility and accessibility for the scientific community. Indexed articles typically receive higher citation rates and broader global readership.

Archiving Partnerships
Long-term digital preservation is a core commitment of JNND. To ensure that research outputs remain accessible beyond the lifespan of any single platform, JNND partners with international archiving initiatives:
- LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe): JNND content is preserved in distributed libraries across multiple global institutions.
- CLOCKSS: A community-governed archive ensuring long-term availability even if the publisher ceases operations.
- Portico: Digital preservation service that guarantees perpetual access to scholarly literature.
- PKP PN (Preservation Network): Open-source archiving system integrated with OJS for community-driven preservation.
DOI Assignment and Metadata
Every article published in JNND is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) via CrossRef. Metadata includes:
- Full bibliographic details (title, authors, affiliations)
- Abstracts and keywords
- ORCID identifiers of authors
- Reference lists and citation links
- Funding statements and acknowledgments
DOIs provide a permanent link to each article, ensuring citations remain valid regardless of website or system changes.
Compliance with Open Standards
JNND complies with international open standards including OAI-PMH (Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting), enabling metadata harvesting by major repositories and search engines.
FAQs
How quickly are articles indexed?
Articles are submitted to indexing services immediately after publication. Timelines for visibility may vary by database.
What happens if the journal ceases operations?
Through CLOCKSS, PKP PN, and Portico partnerships, all published content remains permanently available to the scholarly community.
Do authors need to register DOIs?
No. JNND automatically registers DOIs with CrossRef as part of the publication workflow.
