Indexing
The Gazette of Medical Sciences is indexed with major international indexing systems. The journal is committed to meeting and upholding standards of ethical behavior at all stages of the publication process. We follow closely the industry associations, such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), that set standards and provide guidelines for best practices in order to meet these requirements.
We aim to collaborate with reputed organizations to track the performance of the published articles to ensure that an article is leading to downloads and citations. Our approach is to implement multiple ways of performance assessment-
- Views statistics- We collect statistics of how often an article is viewed after publication. This data helps to analyze the promotional aspects and make sure the paper is getting to the right people.
- Citation count – This metrics helps to find how many citations have articles received?
- Journal Ranking- This metrics reflects the productivity level of a Scholarly paper based on readers’ feedback. This is provided by an organization of repute, Scimago by Scopus.
- Journal Impact – This shows the average citation impact of all the articles published in the journal. This is useful assessment measure to estimate the citations and impact an article will receive in particular time period. This is provided by an organization of repute, Clarivate Analytics.
Article/Journal-level metrics let an author track the impact of his/her publications in different areas, from citations to likes on social media. It provides insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output online, showing a picture of article impact.
