Indexing & Abstracting

Transparent information about scholarly discovery, repositories, persistent identifiers and external database coverage.

KnowledgeTrend Journal is committed to making published research visible, traceable and accessible to the international scholarly community. Article pages are designed with structured citation metadata, crawlable titles and abstracts, author information, references, stable URLs, XML sitemaps and DOI fields where available.

  • Crossref — DOI registration, persistent linking and scholarly metadata infrastructure.
  • OpenAlex — open catalogue of scholarly works, authors, institutions, sources and concepts.
  • Dimensions — linked research publications, grants, patents, clinical trials and citation information.
  • Semantic Scholar — AI-supported scholarly discovery and citation exploration.
  • CORE — aggregation of open-access research papers from repositories and journals.
  • BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine) — academic web search and repository aggregation.

Current Coverage and Applications

Mentioning an indexing or abstracting service on this page does not by itself mean that the journal is currently indexed by that service. Each organisation applies independent technical, editorial and quality criteria. A service will be identified as Indexed or Listed only after formal inclusion has been confirmed. Applications under preparation, submitted applications, technical compatibility and general web discoverability are reported separately and must not be interpreted as confirmed coverage.

Independent Evaluation

External services control their own assessment standards, processing times, coverage dates and continuation decisions. KnowledgeTrend Journal cannot guarantee acceptance by an external database or the time required for individual articles to appear after journal-level inclusion.

Improving Author Visibility

Authors can strengthen legitimate discovery by using a consistent scholarly name and affiliation, registering and maintaining an ORCID, verifying the final article metadata, citing the official DOI or article URL, and linking the published work through appropriate institutional repositories and academic profiles.
