Six different things
This page separates them, and states what the journal does in each. An identifier registration is a permanent name for a record. A metadata deposit makes that record machine-readable. Harvesting lets a service collect it. Discovery tools decide for themselves what to surface. Selective indexing is a decision a database makes about a journal after evaluating it. Preservation is about what survives.
The journal states the first four, because it performs them. The last two are reported by the services that own them, and this page points to where each can be confirmed.
Identifiers, metadata and preservation
Journal identifier
The journal is registered with an International Standard Serial Number, which identifies the title itself in library catalogs and bibliographic systems.
ISSN2997-2108
DOI registration
Articles are assigned a Digital Object Identifier under the publisher’s Crossref prefix, and article metadata is deposited with Crossref. DOI registration is an identifier and metadata service; it is distinct from selective indexing.
Crossref prefix10.14302
Article metadata
Each article page carries structured bibliographic metadata — title, authors, affiliations, publication date, volume, issue, pages, license and identifiers — in the form scholarly discovery tools read.
On every article pageStructured metadata
Metadata harvesting
Article metadata is exposed for harvesting so that aggregators and repositories can collect the journal’s records. Harvesting makes records available to a service; the decision to include them belongs to that service.

Discovery services
Search engines and scholarly discovery tools may collect records from the sources above. Their coverage is determined by each service, changes over time, and is reported by the service itself rather than by the journal.

Digital preservation
This journal’s content is committed to Portico, a not-for-profit digital-preservation archive run by ITHAKA (the organization behind JSTOR). As articles are deposited they enter Portico’s permanent archive, so the scholarly record stays available for the long term — even if a title one day ceases to publish.

How to confirm coverage
Selective journal-level indexing means a database has evaluated a journal and admitted it. Where that has happened, the database says so in its own public list, and an author can confirm it there.
The journal publishes a selective-indexing status here only for a database whose own record confirms it. Authors who need to confirm coverage for a specific database, funder or institutional requirement can ask the editorial office at [email protected], which will point to the authoritative source for that service.
PubMed Central deposit. Eligible NIH-funded manuscripts may be deposited individually in PubMed Central through the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS).
Deposit of an individual manuscript through that route places that article in PubMed Central. It is a funder compliance route for the article, and it does not establish journal-level indexing in PubMed, MEDLINE or PubMed Central.
Registration, deposit and harvesting are services the journal performs. Indexing is a decision another organization makes.
What authors can do
Discovery depends on the quality of what is deposited. Give the article a title that states what was studied and in whom; supply keywords that a reader outside your subfield would search; check that every author name, affiliation and funder is correct at submission, because the deposited metadata is built from them; and include a DOI for every reference that has one.
An ORCID identifier, supplied at submission, keeps the work attached to you across the record even when a name is transliterated, changed or shared with another researcher.
