Journal Indexing

Maximizing discoverability of diagnostic pathology research worldwide.

Comprehensive indexing ensures your diagnostic pathology research is discoverable by clinicians, researchers, and laboratory professionals worldwide. Each database serves different user communities, from academic researchers using specialized medical databases to practitioners searching general scientific platforms.

JCDP continuously works to expand indexing coverage. We maintain active applications with major medical and scientific indices. As the journal portfolio grows and meets eligibility criteria, we anticipate additional indexing partnerships that will further increase visibility for diagnostic pathology research.

Authors can enhance article visibility through several strategies. Select descriptive titles containing key search terms relevant to your diagnostic specialty. Choose specific keywords representing major findings rather than broad category terms. Write clear structured abstracts that summarize methodology and key results effectively.

Share published articles through professional networks, academic social media platforms, and institutional repositories. Linking ORCID identifiers ensures proper attribution across publication databases and enables accurate tracking of your scholarly contributions over time.

Track citations to your JCDP publications through Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and institutional subscription services. Citation alerts can notify you when your diagnostic pathology research is referenced by other scholars, helping you monitor impact and identify collaboration opportunities.

Published articles are tracked for alternative metrics including social media mentions, news coverage, and policy document citations. Altmetrics provide complementary measures of research impact beyond traditional citations, capturing broader engagement with your diagnostic discoveries across professional and public audiences.

Authors may deposit published versions in institutional repositories, subject archives, and personal websites in accordance with Creative Commons license terms. Such deposits enhance article visibility and citations while maintaining permanent links to the official version.

JCDP optimizes article metadata for search engine discovery. Proper tagging of article type, diagnostic specialty, and methodology terms enhances findability across medical and scientific search platforms used by pathologists and laboratory professionals.
