Indexed

How it is used

Academics in Turkey often ask whether a journal is indexed in SSCI, SCI-Expanded, AHCI, ESCI, Scopus or TR Dizin, because appointment and incentive rules depend on it. Within an index, journals in each field are ranked into quartiles, Q1 being the top 25 percent.

Example sentences

1. Is this journal indexed in Scopus, or does it only appear in Google Scholar?

2. Our faculty only rewards papers in journals indexed in the Web of Science.
