DOAJ & indexing readiness
Check your journal against the real DOAJ application criteria — and the technical items Scopus and Web of Science look for — before you apply. Every line reads from the public record and says how to fix it.
Why check first
DOAJ rejects roughly seven applications in ten, and the top reasons are clerical: the licence, the website not exposing the required information, and ISSN problems — all of which show here in a minute. India's rejected-to-listed ratio is among the worst in the world, almost always for fixable reasons. Check, fix, then apply.
