Accreditation & Indexing Roadmap
Accreditation, Identifiers & Indexing Roadmap
The Journal of Energy Management and Economics (JEME) states only what is in place today and lists the remaining steps openly.
1. Institutional and national registration
- Founding university order: being issued by the Presidency of Basrah University for Oil and Gas.
- National legal deposit (Iraqi National Library and Archives, Baghdad): in progress.
- ISSN (online): applied for; the number will be shown on every page once assigned.
- Iraqi Academic Scientific Journals (IASJ): the journal will be registered once its ISSN is assigned.
2. Identifiers and dissemination
- Crossref DOIs: membership in progress; DOIs will be registered for every published article, including Issue 0.
- ORCID: authors are asked to give their ORCID iD with their submission.
- OAI-PMH: Dublin Core metadata can be harvested at
https://jeme.buog.edu.iq/ojs/en/oai. - Google Scholar: article pages carry the citation metadata Google Scholar reads, and the full-text PDFs are open.
- Preservation: published content is backed up daily; enrolment in the PKP Preservation Network will follow the ISSN (PKP PN requires one).
3. International indexing roadmap
| Database | Main criterion | Target | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| DOAJ | One year of publishing or 10 research articles; ISSN; editorial board of at least five named members; CC licence. | After 10 published articles | Policies in place; publishing record in progress |
| Scopus (Elsevier) | Regular publication (at least two years), international editorial board and authors, English abstracts and references. | Year 3 | Publishing record in progress |
| Web of Science (ESCI) | Editorial rigour, ethics and transparency, citation impact. | Alongside Scopus | Long-term |
Transparency notice: JEME does not display indexing badges it has not earned and does not advertise unofficial impact factors.
