Discovery and preservation
Indexing
How Journal of Water is identified, registered, exposed to discovery services and preserved.
Six distinct things
What each service does for this journal
An identifier, a DOI, a metadata feed, a discovery service and a selective index each do a different job for a reader looking for an article and for an author judging where their work will appear. The sections below distinguish these roles and list current journal coverage.
- Journal identifiers
- ISSN 2769-2264, registered and resolvable in the ISSN Portal.
- DOI registration
- Article DOIs are registered with Crossref under the publisher’s prefix and are shown with each article record.
- Metadata harvesting
- Article pages carry bibliographic metadata in the page head, and the publisher distributes article metadata for harvesting.
- Discovery services
- The journal is held as a source record in OpenAlex, which indexes its registered works.
- Journal-level indexing
- Verified journal-level index coverage is listed below and is updated as new coverage is confirmed.
- Digital preservation
- Committed to Portico; see the preservation statement below.
Verified coverage
Journal-level indexing
The coverage confirmed in the indexing services’ own records at the date below is the ISSN Portal register and the OpenAlex source record for this journal. Further coverage is listed here once it can be confirmed in the service’s own record.
Crossref DOI registration, ISSN registration and the display of ORCID identifiers are registration and identification services: they give an article a permanent identifier and make it citable and findable. Selective journal-level indexing is a separate editorial assessment, and it is listed under its own heading above.

PubMed Central deposit
Eligible NIH-funded manuscripts may be deposited individually in PubMed Central through the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS). Individual manuscript deposit through that route is a funder-compliance service for the author concerned.
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.
