JIG uses CrossMark for article update transparency and Similarity Check for originality screening during editorial review. DOI and metadata registration support stable citation and long-term retrieval.

These controls help ensure that aging and immunology findings remain traceable, citable, and auditable over time.

JIG indexing performance depends on consistent metadata delivery, stable publishing cadence, and strong editorial governance. Each accepted article is prepared with structured identifiers, standardized bibliographic fields, and machine-readable components that support discovery in library systems and scholarly search environments.

Indexing expansion is managed as a staged process rather than a one-time event. The journal maintains current listings while improving eligibility for additional databases through policy transparency, citation integrity, and publication-quality controls. This approach protects long-term discoverability and avoids short-term claims that cannot be sustained.

Authors can support discoverability by submitting complete affiliations, ORCID details, precise keywords, and accurate funding metadata. High-quality submission metadata improves cross-platform retrieval and increases the probability that relevant readers, clinicians, and policy teams can locate and cite published work efficiently.

Citation readiness also depends on clean reference formatting, complete abstracts, and consistent keyword strategy. Authors who submit metadata-rich manuscripts improve downstream indexing performance and make published work easier to discover in discipline-specific literature searches and institutional knowledge systems.

Policy-quality publishing depends on consistency between manuscript content, metadata, and governance declarations. Authors and editors should treat discoverability, licensing, archiving, and integrity controls as connected systems rather than isolated tasks. When these components are aligned early, journals can process accepted papers more efficiently, improve repository compatibility, and strengthen confidence among readers, libraries, and indexing partners. JIG maintains this systems approach to support durable visibility and reliable scholarly records in immunology and geriatrics. Clear documentation at each stage, from submission to post-publication maintenance, reduces correction risk and protects the long-term value of published evidence.
