Indexing and Abstracting at EIRA Publisher
Enhancing Global Visibility for Open-Access Scholarship in Arts, Law, Education, and Multidisciplinary Research
As of June 22, 2025, EIRA Publisher proudly supports the dissemination of high-quality research through strategic indexing and abstracting partnerships. Our bimonthly journals—EIRA Journal of Arts, Law and Educational Sciences (EIRAJALES) and EIRA Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development (EIRAJMRD)—are designed for maximum discoverability in the academic ecosystem.
Why Indexing and Abstracting Matter
Indexing and abstracting services are the backbone of scholarly communication, bridging the gap between authors and readers worldwide. By enrolling in reputable databases, EIRA ensures that your research reaches beyond traditional silos, fostering citations, collaborations, and impact.
- Increased Visibility: Articles appear in search results on platforms used by millions of researchers, librarians, and policymakers.
- Enhanced Metrics: Track downloads, views, and citations via integrated analytics, boosting your academic profile.
- Preservation and Accessibility: Permanent DOIs and metadata archiving guarantee long-term availability, aligning with our open-access mandate.
- Credibility Boost: Association with trusted indexes like Google Scholar signals quality to funding bodies and institutions.
For emerging publishers like EIRA (established 2025), proactive indexing is key to rapid growth. We invest processing fees (₹5,000 INR/$80 USD for Indian/international authors) directly into peer review, formatting, and indexing to support this ecosystem.

Future Indexing Initiatives
EIRA is committed to expanding our footprint in the scholarly landscape. By 2026-2027, we aim to achieve:
- Scopus & Web of Science: Targeting coverage for high-impact EIRAJMRD articles in multidisciplinary fields.
- PubMed Central (PMC): For relevant health, law, and education intersections in EIRAJALES.
- Regional Repositories: Integration with BASE, CORE, and national archives for global equity.
- Altmetrics Integration: Tracking social media and policy mentions to complement traditional citations.
Our Open Access Policy ensures contributions to these platforms, promoting free flow of knowledge. Track progress via quarterly updates on this page.
Optimizing Your Manuscript for Indexing
To maximize discoverability, follow our Author Guidelines:
- Structured Abstracts: Limit to 300 words, covering background, objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. This aids abstracting services in precise summarization.
- Keywords: Provide 4-7 terms (e.g., "climate policy," "educational equity") for algorithmic matching in databases like Google Scholar.
- Metadata Excellence: Include ORCID iD, affiliations, and funding details during submission for richer CrossRef deposits.
- Post-Publication Promotion: Share DOIs on ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and social media to accelerate crawling.
- Compliance Check: Ensure CC-BY 4.0 licensing for DOAJ eligibility.
Pro Tip: Use tools like Google Scholar's "Cited by" to monitor impact—EIRA articles average 50+ views in the first month!
