Indexing & Abstracting

Prime Crest Publishing Limited is committed to enhancing the discoverability, accessibility, dissemination, and global visibility of high-quality scholarly research in law, governance, public policy, human rights, technology, development, and related interdisciplinary fields. Prime Crest Journals seeks inclusion in reputable scholarly abstracting, indexing, citation, discovery, and research-information services that support the dissemination and visibility of academic publications. Prime Crest Publishing Limited is committed to pursuing inclusion in appropriate scholarly databases and indexing services that are consistent with its academic scope, editorial policies, publication standards, and ethical requirements.

Applications for indexing, abstracting, and related scholarly services will be pursued progressively Prime Crest develops its publication record and satisfies the relevant eligibility, quality, technical, and editorial requirements of each service. Inclusion in any indexing, abstracting, citation, or scholarly database is subject to the independent evaluation and acceptance of the respective indexing or abstracting organisation. Prime Crest shall not represent an application, submission, pending evaluation, or future intention as confirmed or approved indexing. Prime Crest will only identify a service as an indexing or abstracting platform where inclusion has been formally confirmed by the relevant organisation.

CURRENT DISCOVERY AND VISIBILITY

Prime Crest is committed to ensuring that its published articles are accessible and discoverable through appropriate scholarly and web-based research services. Depending on eligibility and availability, Prime Crest may make its publications discoverable through platforms and services such as:

Google Scholar

The presence or availability of an individual Prime Crest article on a scholarly search engine, repository, academic networking platform, or discovery service does not necessarily constitute formal indexing of the Journal in that service.

As Prime Crest develops its publication record, strengthens its editorial and scholarly standards, and meets the relevant eligibility requirements, Prime Crest Journals intends to seek evaluation and inclusion in appropriate international, regional, legal, science, social-science, and multidisciplinary scholarly databases.

TRANSPARENCY AND ACCURACY

Prime Crest is committed to maintaining transparency and accuracy in all statements concerning its indexing, abstracting, citation, and discovery status. Information regarding confirmed indexing or abstracting services will be updated periodically on the Journal's website as official confirmation becomes available.
