Indexing & Abstracting

ETERNAL (English, Teaching, Learning and Research) is committed to increasing the discoverability, accessibility, and visibility of the research it publishes. The journal seeks inclusion in reputable abstracting and indexing services that support the dissemination, discovery, and evaluation of scholarly research in English language education and related fields.

Digital Object Identifier (DOI)

ETERNAL assigns a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to published articles through its designated DOI registration agency, where applicable.

DOIs provide persistent identifiers that facilitate the discovery, citation, linking, and long-term identification of published articles.

Authors are encouraged to use the DOI when citing articles published in ETERNAL and when sharing their published research through academic and professional platforms.

Scholarly Discoverability

ETERNAL works to improve the discoverability of its published content through appropriate scholarly services and metadata practices.

The journal seeks to ensure that article metadata are presented accurately and consistently, including:

  • article title;
  • author names and affiliations;
  • abstract;
  • keywords;
  • publication date;
  • volume and issue information;
  • page or article identifiers, where applicable;
  • DOI;
  • references; and
  • other relevant bibliographic information.

Accurate metadata support indexing, citation, linking, and discovery across scholarly information systems.

Indexing Development

ETERNAL continuously works toward inclusion in additional reputable abstracting and indexing services.

The journal's indexing development strategy prioritizes services that are relevant to its disciplinary scope and that apply transparent standards for journal inclusion.

Applications for inclusion are made only when the journal meets, or reasonably expects to meet, the relevant requirements of the indexing or abstracting service.

Inclusion in an indexing or abstracting service is determined by the respective service and is not guaranteed by the journal.

Verification of Indexing Status

ETERNAL is committed to providing accurate information about its indexing and abstracting status.

The journal does not claim inclusion in a database or indexing service unless such inclusion can be verified through the official records of the relevant service.

Authors and readers are encouraged to verify indexing claims through the official website or database of the respective indexing organization.

Where a service changes its coverage, evaluation status, or inclusion criteria, ETERNAL will update this page accordingly.

Commitment to Quality and Visibility

Indexing and abstracting are important components of ETERNAL's broader commitment to scholarly communication. However, inclusion in an indexing service does not replace the journal's responsibility to maintain rigorous editorial and peer-review standards.

ETERNAL remains committed to:

  • rigorous peer review;
  • research and publication integrity;
  • transparent editorial policies;
  • accurate bibliographic metadata;
  • responsible scholarly communication;
  • ethical publishing practices; and
  • continuous improvement of journal quality.

The journal aims to expand its international visibility while maintaining the academic standards expected of a reputable scholarly publication.

Important Notice

Indexing and abstracting services periodically review their databases and may change journal coverage, eligibility, or indexing status. Therefore, the indexing information presented on this page reflects the journal's status at the time of the latest update.
