Journal Indexing

Structured metadata and discoverability for colorectal cancer research.

Journal of Colon and Rectal Cancer prioritizes accurate metadata and persistent identifiers so colorectal cancer research reaches clinicians, policymakers, and patient advocacy networks.

Our workflow includes DOI registration and metadata validation to support long term discoverability.

Accurate metadata improves discoverability for colorectal cancer research.

• Use descriptive titles with colorectal cancer terms
• Include structured abstracts with outcomes
• Provide 5 to 8 targeted keywords
• List ORCID identifiers for authors
• Include complete affiliations and locations
• State funding sources and grant numbers
• Include DOI links in references where possible
• Use consistent abbreviations across title and abstract
• List clinical trial registration identifiers
• Provide data repository links and accession numbers
• Include imaging or staging terms in keywords
• Confirm corresponding author details

JCRC uses Crossref DOI registration, ORCID linking, and structured metadata to support indexing and citation tracking. Consistent identifiers strengthen clinical discovery across oncology databases and search platforms.

• DOIs registered for every article and updated on changes
• ORCID identifiers captured for author disambiguation
• Funding metadata linked to grant identifiers
• Data citations connected to repository records

Our production team validates titles, abstracts, and keywords for clarity before publication. Metadata checks reduce errors that can delay indexing or misclassify clinical research.

• Scope review and metadata normalization
• Reference linking and DOI matching
• Structured abstract validation
• Keyword quality checks for colorectal terms
• Final metadata deposit and verification

Authors play a direct role in indexing success by providing accurate references, clear clinical terminology, and verified funding information.

• Use consistent tumor location descriptors
• Include clinical trial registration identifiers
• Provide standardized outcome measures in abstracts
• Confirm affiliations and corresponding author contact
• Cite data repositories and accession numbers

Clear abstracts and keywords help clinical and translational research reach the right audience. Use specific colorectal cancer terminology and report key endpoints in the abstract.

• Include tumor location and staging terms
• Report primary outcome metrics in the abstract
• Use consistent abbreviations and terminology

Accurate citations strengthen metadata linking and discovery. Where possible, include DOIs and ensure reference details are complete.

• Verify author names and journal titles
• Include volume, issue, and page numbers
• Add DOI links for cited articles

Indexing services evaluate metadata quality, scope clarity, and citation practices. Consistency in titles, abstracts, and author information reduces rejection risk and improves visibility for colorectal cancer research.

• Match article titles to journal scope language
• Keep author names consistent with ORCID profiles
• Use accurate journal abbreviations in references

These practices improve indexing accuracy and citation visibility for colorectal cancer research.

• Use consistent tumor location terminology in title and abstract
• Include staging terms and primary outcome measures
• List ORCID identifiers for all authors
• Provide complete funding and grant information
• Cite data repositories with accession numbers
• Verify reference accuracy and DOI formatting
• Avoid inconsistent abbreviations across sections

Small metadata choices can improve search visibility.

• Use specific procedure names and staging terms
• Include treatment modality keywords
• Avoid abbreviations in the title
• Highlight main outcome metrics in the abstract

Consistent metadata improves long term discoverability.

• Keep author names consistent across submissions
• Use stable institutional identifiers
• Confirm funding acknowledgements

Consistent metadata improves reliability across platforms.

• Use consistent author initials and surnames
• Confirm institution names match official listings
• Avoid inconsistent keyword capitalization

Small consistency checks reduce indexing errors.

• Verify author order across files
• Match title wording in all forms
