 An indexed journal means that the journal has gone
through and passed a review process of certain
requirements done by a journal indexer.
 Basically, every institution can be an indexer but in
the academic world, an indexer should be one who is
trusted and reputable in doing such a job.

proven (at least to the indexer) that it has well
documented process in publishing papers.

society than no publication at all.
 Publish less but they should be in reputed
indexed journals.

 Scopus is an Elsevier's abstract and citation
database that was launched in 2004 to
improve institutions' and professionals'
progress in sciences and healthcare. It is
known to be the best abstraction and
citation database for peer-reviewed
journals.28-Dec-2021
