Abstracting & Indexing

50¶È»Ò works to ensure our publications are indexed in the most relevant abstracting and indexing services.

  • The purpose of A&I services is to enhance findability, visibility, and discoverability of scholarly content, generally and for a wide audience, in other cases for a specific subject area.
  • A&I services provide metadata, data fields, and access points for literature searches by users. Such access points are developed by specialists and include a thesaurus, ontology, and controlled vocabulary to make search results comprehensive and relevant. Data fields function by enhancing the metadata to enable retrieval of relevant findings even when non-standard key words are used in searches.
  • A&I services cater to different user needs and cover different types of documents: journals, books, book series, conference proceedings, patents, etc.
  • The relationship between the content owner and the database creator is extremely important. For both parties, the goal is to ensure that the most relevant content is reaching the most appropriate user at the right time and in the right format.

For questions about A&I service, please contact us.
