Step 2 after your Journal Audit

Your journal is ready. Now get it indexed — everywhere.

GetIndexed turns your audit into finished indexing applications: 153 databases and registrations organised as an 8-stage ladder (and, for publishers of open-access books, DOAB and OAPEN), ready-made answers for every form, one-click form filling, and a tracker for every submission. Or let our team file them for you.

How it works

From audit to acceptance

1

Pass the audit

Run the Journal Audit. A verdict of Ready or Close to Applying unlocks GetIndexed; otherwise fix the gaps (AI-drafted policy text included) and re-scan.

2

Import your profile

Your journal profile — ISSNs, publisher, policies, URLs, licence, DOI prefix — is imported from the audit in one click and reused for every application.

3

Choose databases

Pick from recognised indexes, discovery aggregators, and (with a warning) caution-tier directories. Each shows requirements, method and decision time.

4

Apply & track

Get an application pack per database with every answer written, a Fill this form button that completes the database's own form, then track status and follow-ups.

Beyond indexing

Three services every journal needs after it is listed

Included with every journal on GetIndexed — no AI fees, no per-article charges.

🗄 Digital Archives

Every published PDF is deposited in the Internet Archive with full metadata, every article page snapshotted in the Wayback Machine, and — with your keys — mirrored to Zenodo and OSF. Your back-catalogue first, then each new issue. A ready "Digital Archives" statement for your website, the preservation evidence DOAJ, Scopus and Keepers ask for.

📈 Citation Check

Live citation dashboard from OpenAlex and Crossref: total citations, h-index, uncited articles, new citations since last month. A 10-point audit shows exactly what blocks citations (reference lists not deposited, missing ORCIDs, no Google Scholar tags…) with the fix for each, and a one-click promotion kit per article for authors and social media. Only legitimate methods — never citation rings.

🌍 Library & national reach

Country-specific indexes and accreditation lists (TR Dizin, SINTA, Latindex, SciELO, AJOL, KCI, NAAS…), national-library e-deposit, and the knowledge bases (OCLC, Ex Libris, TDNet) that put a journal into thousands of university catalogues at once. Ready-made email drafts for every service handled by email.

Do it yourself

The indexing ladder

Why "apply to Scopus" is the wrong first step

Selective indexes look for a journal that already lives in the scholarly infrastructure. GetIndexed walks you up the ladder in the right order — most of the lower rungs are free and take minutes each.
