Past Indexing

In this page, we try to keep a record of indexing sites that used to index ETASR or that still index it but they seem to have incomplete files. We have created this page for preservation (although many of the links may now be dead) and also in an attemt to keep our current indexing & links page easier to follow.

DOAJ - Directory of Open Access Journals
DOAJ launched as a community-curated online directory that indexed and provided access to high quality, open access, peer-reviewed journals. The aim of the Directory of Open Access Journals when launched was (according to them at the time) to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals thereby promoting their increased usage and impact. ETASR was indexed in DOAJ since 2011, was a Publisher Member of DOAJ in 2013 and was awarded a DOAJ seal in 2020, which was then set to award journals that achieve a high level of openness, adhere to oustanding Best Practice and high publishing standards. However, in August 2024, ETASR was suddenly removed from indexing following an apparent change of DOAJ policy that seems to have abandoned its former policy to apply the same objective criteria, supported by data/evidence, to all journals. For example, DOAJ claimed that a reason for delisting ETASR was the "high number of articles and short review times", failing however to provide any supporting data for that -apparently inaccurate- claim even when we repeatidly requested them to. When we pointed out that there are several journals indexed in DOAJ that publish 10 or 20 times more articles than ETASR and have shorter review times, the response was that journals "are not comparable". ETASR was indexed in DOAJ here.

Clarivate Web of Science (former ISI/Thomson Reuters) / Master Journal List / Emerging Sources Citation Index
The Web of Science / Web of Knowledge collection/services were initially owned and maintained by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). It was purchased by Thomson Reuters in 1992 and renamed Thomson ISI for some time after. It was again sold to Onex Corporation and Baring Private Equity Asia in late 2016. The new company was named Clarivate Analytics. In 2018, Clarivate re-established an ISI within its structure. Several alterations in the nature and names of services, lists and products have occured over the years (and different ownerships). ETASR was added to Web of Science and the Master Journal List from late 2015 to mid 2024, through the Emerging Sources Citation Index. ETASR's Clarivate Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) over the years was 0.12 (2018), 0.24 (2019), 0.33 (2020), 0.37 (2021), 0.49 (2022) and 0.55 (2023), its Clarivate JCI Quartile Ranking for 2023 was Q2, and its Clarivate Journal Impact Factor (JIF) was 1.5 (2023).
