Indexing Sources for STM Journals
Editors often dream of top indexing, called 'Indexing Disease,' harming strategic plans. This book aims to shift their focus to better publishing goals
Indexing Sources for STM Journals
Many editors-in-chief dream only of top-ranked indexes — a fixation the authors call "Indexing Disease" — and it quietly damages journals' strategic plans. This book reviews the world's indexing sources and refocuses editors on what publishing is actually for: connecting research with the readers whose lives it can improve.

About this book
One of the most common misconceptions among journal editors-in-chief is the overemphasis on indexing their journals in top-ranked indexing sources. This misguided focus creates numerous challenges for editorial teams and publishers, diverting attention from the true purpose of academic publishing. Based on personal experience, the authors call this phenomenon "Indexing Disease." Indexing should not — and must not — be the ultimate goal of journal publishing. The true aim is to improve lives by addressing real-world challenges through research.
The book provides a comprehensive review of the world's indexing sources and their role in disseminating scientific knowledge globally. All indexing sources play a vital part in connecting research with readers; discriminating between "top-ranked" and "low-ranked" sources often stems from financial interests, and such conflicts must be avoided to maintain the integrity of scientific publishing.
