Transparency Statement

IJMA distinguishes between abstracting and indexing databases, discovery services, metadata registration agencies, and digital preservation services. Inclusion in a preservation service, metadata registry, or discovery platform should not be interpreted as equivalent to indexing in selective bibliographic databases such as MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, or Web of Science.

IJMA continues to pursue inclusion in additional reputable abstracting and indexing databases in accordance with their respective selection criteria and review processes.
