As newly launched academic journals, TIMEWELL PRESS LIMITED journals will follow a progressive five-year indexing roadmap. The first stage focuses on journal launch, editorial board development, peer-review policies, ethics guidelines, ISSN application, DOI registration, and regular publication. The second stage focuses on DOAJ readiness and open-access standards. The third stage focuses on Scopus readiness through improved academic quality, international authorship, citation visibility, and publication consistency. The fourth stage focuses on long-term development toward Web of Science / ESCI evaluation.
This roadmap is a strategic development plan and does not guarantee inclusion in any indexing database. All applications and outcomes are subject to the independent eligibility requirements, evaluation criteria, and review procedures of each database.
