Journal Indexing
Strengthening discovery and citations through robust indexing and metadata standards.
Maximizing reach for veterinary scholarship
Journal of Veterinary Healthcare is committed to making veterinary research easy to discover, cite, and reuse. We follow established indexing and metadata practices so that articles appear in academic search engines, library discovery systems, and researcher workflows worldwide.
Indexing is essential for the visibility of clinical and translational research. Our team focuses on quality metadata, structured abstracts, and DOI registration to support long term discoverability and reliable citation tracking.
JVHC uses a comprehensive indexing strategy that aligns with publisher standards and open access best practices. We ensure that each article is published with structured metadata, accurate author details, and persistent identifiers.
Search Engine Visibility
Articles are optimized for discovery through academic search engines and veterinary research databases.
Metadata Quality
Complete metadata, including ORCID and DOI information, supports accurate indexing and linking.
Open Access Reach
Immediate access improves global usage in clinical practice, education, and policy.
We also maintain consistent issue level and article level metadata, which supports accurate indexing, linking, and citation tracking. This approach helps veterinary literature remain discoverable over time and across platforms.
- Improved discoverability across veterinary and biomedical search tools.
- Stronger citation pathways through DOI and metadata visibility.
- Better sharing across institutional repositories and funding portals.
- Greater reach in clinical and educational settings worldwide.
Every JVHC article is published with consistent metadata fields including author names, affiliations, abstract structure, and keywords. We also support data availability statements and ethical declarations to ensure transparency and compliance with indexing requirements.
Authors can support indexing accuracy by providing complete affiliations, ORCID identifiers where available, and clear keywords that reflect the primary clinical or research focus of the work.
Accurate funding information and grant numbers also improve compliance with funder requirements and make institutional reporting easier.
- Use specific, field relevant keywords that reflect species, condition, or technique.
- Write clear, structured abstracts that summarize methods and outcomes.
- Include accurate funding and ethics details to improve compliance visibility.
- Share published links through professional networks and institutional repositories.
JVHC assigns DOIs to all published articles and maintains link integrity through permanent identifiers. This ensures that citations remain stable and that bibliographic records are correctly connected across databases and repositories.
Authors who include ORCID identifiers enable accurate attribution and improve the reliability of citation tracking.
JVHC continues to expand indexing coverage as journal content grows. We actively monitor metadata quality and adapt to evolving indexing criteria to ensure authors receive sustained visibility and citation impact.
If you have questions about indexing coverage or repository deposits, the editorial office can provide guidance and confirm metadata requirements.
Authors may deposit accepted manuscripts in institutional or funder repositories. JVHC metadata is structured to support repository ingestion and compliance reporting.
