How JPMC articles are identified and discovered
This page separates verified journal identifiers and metadata services from selective indexing claims. Services not named here should not be inferred.
Verified discovery infrastructure
Each item below describes a specific function. Identifier registration, metadata exchange, search discovery, and selective database inclusion are not interchangeable.
ISSN
ISSN 2474-3585 identifies the journal in catalogues and metadata records.
Crossref DOI records
Published articles receive DOI records under the 10.14302/issn.2474-3585 namespace, supporting persistent resolution and citation metadata.
OAI-PMH
Open Access Pub exposes article metadata through its OAI-PMH endpoint for compatible harvesters and aggregators.
Open full text
Article landing pages and available HTML, PDF, and XML formats are crawlable without a subscription barrier.
Verified journal-level indexing
JPMC does not currently claim journal-level inclusion in PubMed, MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science, or DOAJ. A DOI, ISSN, search result, repository copy, or harvested metadata record does not by itself establish inclusion in a selective bibliographic database.
Digital preservation and author-manuscript deposit
Digital preservation
JPMC is included under Open Access Pub’s Portico digital-preservation program. Open Access Pub reports that participation is confirmed and deposits are in progress; as articles are deposited, they enter Portico’s permanent archive for long-term preservation.
PubMed Central deposit clarification
Eligible NIH-funded manuscripts may be deposited individually in PubMed Central through the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS). Deposit of an individual manuscript does not indicate that JPMC is indexed at the journal level in PubMed, MEDLINE, or PubMed Central.
What an article record contains
Accurate records help readers, libraries, funders, and discovery services distinguish an article and connect it to its authors and journal.
Persistent identity
Article title, DOI, journal title, ISSN, publication date, volume or issue information, and license.
Authorship
Author names, affiliations, corresponding-author information, and ORCID iDs when supplied and validated.
Research context
Abstract, keywords, funding, competing interests, trial or protocol identifiers, and data-availability information where applicable.
Version integrity
Corrections, retractions, or other post-publication notices remain linked to the scholarly record when issued.
How authors support accurate discovery
The editorial office prepares publication metadata, but several high-value fields originate with the authors and should be checked before submission and again at proof stage.
- Use the same author name and affiliation consistently across the manuscript, submission system, and ORCID record.
- Write a specific title and abstract that state the preventive-medicine question, population, design, and principal finding without overstating causality.
- Provide verified funding identifiers, trial registrations, repository links, and data-availability statements when applicable.
- Check the DOI, author order, affiliations, license, and article type carefully during proof review.
How to assess a discoverability statement
A useful claim names the service, explains the relationship, and provides a direct verification route.
| Statement | What it establishes | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| ISSN 2474-3585 | Registered serial identity | Database selection or journal ranking |
| Crossref DOI | Persistent article identifier and registered metadata | Editorial endorsement or citation impact |
| OAI-PMH record | Metadata can be harvested by compatible services | Guaranteed inclusion by every harvester |
| Search result | A crawler discovered a page or record | Selective indexing, permanence, or comprehensive coverage |
