Indexing and abstracting services
CIJFMR began publishing in 2026. Most indexing services accept a journal only after it has published a minimum body of peer-reviewed content and met their technical and editorial criteria. The Journal applies to each service as soon as it becomes eligible.
Our commitment: CIJFMR lists a service as "Indexed" only after the service has confirmed inclusion, and links each entry to a page where readers can verify it. The Journal does not display, purchase or rely on "impact factors" or ratings from organisations that do not publish a transparent methodology.

Indexing of individual articles
Indexing applies to the Journal as a whole. Whether and when an individual article appears in a particular database depends on that database's own policies and schedule, which are outside the Journal's control.
For librarians and database providers
Librarians and indexing services may request the Journal's title list, metadata or publication history by writing to editor@cijfmr.com with the subject line "Indexing". This page is updated whenever an application changes status.
