Our ultimate goal is to increase the journal visibility for all Brieflands journals. To index a journal, we should first publish high-quality articles on time. To achieve this critical goal, we perform an annual internal evaluation report for our journals and give them a strategic plan.
- Our Achievements: We have succeeded in indexing some of our journals in significant indexing sources. Read more about our Indexed journals here.
