Journal Indexing
Journal of Lung Cancer Epidemiology (JLCE) supports indexing and discovery through structured metadata, DOIs, and open access distribution.
Indexing services make articles findable, while discovery channels help researchers access and cite your work.
Infrastructure that protects the scholarly record
Crossref DOIs
Persistent identifiers ensure stable citation and linking.
CrossMark updates
Readers can see corrections or updates to published articles.
Similarity checks
Manuscripts are screened for originality during review.
Metadata validation
Titles, abstracts, and author details are checked for consistency.
Reference linking
Structured references support cross citation and tracking.
Archiving
Long term preservation supports stable access to data and findings.
Where JLCE content is visible
Google Scholar
Widely used academic search platform for rapid discovery.
WorldCat (OCLC)
Library discovery system supporting institutional visibility.
Semantic Scholar
AI assisted discovery for scholarly literature.
OpenAlex
Open index of scholarly works and citations.
CORE
Open access content aggregation for global reach.
BASE
Academic search engine indexing open access content.
Open metadata
Structured metadata enables broad crawling and indexing.
Sitemaps
Journal sitemaps support efficient content discovery.
How an article becomes discoverable
Submission
Editorial checks begin and metadata capture starts.
Acceptance
Final files are prepared and validated.
Metadata deposit
DOIs and metadata are registered for discovery.
Publication
HTML, PDF, and XML become available for indexing.
Search visibility
Discovery services index content as they update.
Citation growth
Clear metadata supports citation tracking and sharing.
Understanding visibility terms
Indexing refers to structured registration such as Crossref DOIs and metadata that preserve citation integrity. Discovery refers to how search platforms surface content to readers.
Discovery timelines vary by service. Many platforms index new articles within days of publication, especially when metadata is complete.
PubMed and PMC coverage
Not all articles are indexed in PubMed. Articles funded by agencies that require deposit may be submitted to PubMed Central and then become visible in PubMed.
We publish only verifiable indexing information and will clarify any service on request.
If you need confirmation about a specific indexing service, contact info@openaccesspub.org and we will verify the current status.
Steps that improve discoverability
Use consistent author names, affiliations, and ORCID identifiers so discovery systems can attribute your work accurately.
Choose keywords that reflect exposure, population, and outcome to improve topical clustering in search.
Checklist for discoverability
Title precision
Use specific lung cancer epidemiology terms and avoid vague titles.
Abstract structure
Summarize methods, population, and main findings in the abstract.
Keyword alignment
Match keywords to common registry and screening terminology.
Funding details
Include grant numbers and sponsor names exactly as required.
Reference completeness
Ensure references include DOI where available.
Author accuracy
Verify spelling and order of all author names.
Indexing success depends on complete metadata and accurate author information. Keep records consistent across submissions.
Ways to accelerate discoverability
Share the published DOI in institutional repositories and professional profiles to speed discovery.
Keep affiliation names consistent across papers so indexing services can link outputs to your institution.
