Indexing and Abstracting

Nursing Frontiers Research and Practice is committed to ensuring global visibility, academic credibility, and long-term discoverability of published scholarly works. To enhance research dissemination and citation impact, the journal actively pursues inclusion in recognized international indexing and abstracting databases that align with best practices in scholarly publishing.

Currently, all published articles are assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) through Crossref to ensure persistent linking and citation tracking. The journal implements standardized metadata practices, structured abstracts, and English-language publication policies to support integration with international indexing platforms and research discovery systems. These efforts are part of a continuous strategy to improve accessibility, transparency, and academic integrity in line with international publishing standards.

The journal aims to be indexed, abstracted, or included in the following academic databases and scholarly infrastructures:

  • Google Scholar
  • Crossref Metadata Search
  • Dimensions
  • OpenAIRE
  • Garuda (Garba Rujukan Digital Indonesia)
  • ROAD Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources
  • WorldCat
  • BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine)
  • Semantic Scholar
  • Scilit
  • Lens.org

As part of its long-term development roadmap toward international recognition, the journal is preparing to meet the evaluation criteria of major global indexing systems such as DOAJ, EBSCO, ProQuest, and Scopus. These preparations include strengthening editorial governance, improving citation ethics, enhancing peer review transparency, and maintaining publication consistency.

Inclusion in indexing and abstracting services does not imply endorsement by the database providers. The journal continuously evaluates and updates its indexing status to ensure compliance with evolving scholarly communication standards and to support the global dissemination of high-quality research in agricultural extension, rural development, innovation dissemination, and sustainable community practices.
