Indexing & Archiving
The Journal of Pulmonology and Respiratory Research (JPRR) is committed to ensuring the global visibility, discoverability, and long-term preservation of published content. Our indexing and archiving strategy is designed to provide authors with maximum exposure while safeguarding research for future generations.
Current Indexing
JPRR is currently indexed in the following services:
- Google Scholar – Ensures discoverability through broad academic searches.
- Index Copernicus Value (ICV) – Provides structured evaluation of research quality.
- CrossRef – All articles are assigned a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for persistent citation and linking.
Indexing in Progress
Applications are in process for inclusion in additional international indexing databases. These include:
- Scopus (Elsevier)
- Web of Science (Clarivate)
- PubMed and PubMed Central (NLM)
- Embase (Elsevier)
- Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
Archiving and Preservation
To ensure long-term digital preservation, JPRR deposits its content in trusted third-party archiving services. These services guarantee perpetual access even in the unlikely event of journal discontinuation.
- Portico – Provides secure, long-term preservation of digital scholarly content.
- LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) – Decentralized preservation through participating libraries worldwide.
- SHERPA/RoMEO – Policy registry for open access and repository permissions.
Repository Policy
Authors are encouraged to self-archive their work in institutional repositories and subject-based repositories. JPRR supports the green open access route, allowing authors to deposit preprints and postprints in repositories with appropriate attribution and links to the published version.
