Index in the PJIP

Journals and publishers can index their journals in the PJIP by following the checklist below. To be fully indexed, two forms must be completed and the journal should also be indexed in SCOPUS. Journals can still be partially indexed by completing the required sections of Step 1, but this will leave blank spaces for the data that is not provided.

Publishers are welcome to submit the relevant data in bulk (normally in the form of a .csv file or spreadsheet). Reach out to [email protected] for support on this process.

Checklist

Begin by checking the PJIP Database for your subject to see if your journal is included and what information we already possess; use the search bar to look up the journal's name or eISSN. Then proceed with the steps outlined below:

1. Complete the PJIP Cataloguing Form
   Covers basic information about the journal and its policies (overview, word limits, open-access status, etc.)
   
   
2. Complete the PJIP Operations Form (Run Annually)
   Covers the journal's operations (average review lengths, acceptance rates, number of submissions, etc.)
   
   
3. Index in SCOPUS
   Covers ranking metrics (we present rankings from the SJR and SNIP which are based on SCOPUS data)
   
   
   

If you're adding a new journal follow all three steps. If you're updating an existing journal record, follow the step corresponding to the information you'd like to change or add. Once indexed you’ll be invited to provide updated operational statistics each year.
