JSDR prioritizes structured metadata and DOI registration so sleep research is discoverable across scholarly platforms. Indexing helps findings reach clinicians, researchers, and public health teams who rely on validated evidence.

Our production workflow includes metadata validation and citation checks to improve discoverability and long term accuracy.

JSDR maintains core identifiers and metadata services that support reliable citation, cataloging, and discovery across platforms.

• ISSN registration for consistent journal identification
• DOI assignment and metadata registration via Crossref
• Google Scholar discoverability subject to inclusion and crawling guidelines

• Accurate author names, affiliations, and ORCID identifiers
• Funding sources, grant numbers, and conflict disclosures
• Structured abstracts with clear objectives and results
• Sleep science keywords and disorder classifications
• Complete references with DOIs where available

Authors help improve discoverability by providing complete metadata, accurate references, and clear funding statements. Well structured abstracts and keywords improve visibility for sleep science audiences.

• Include ORCID identifiers where available
• Use standardized sleep disorder terminology
• Provide data repository links and accession numbers
• Ensure citations match reference lists
