In almost every scientific journal there is a recurring scene: overflowing inboxes, attachments with conflicting versions, messages lost among reminders and overdue reviews. This is the everyday landscape of email-based editorial management, a practice that was the norm for years and has now become a silent obstacle to efficiency, transparency and quality. The digital transformation […]
For years, scientific publishing in Spanish has lived in an in-between territory: a space rich in knowledge production, but with little global visibility. Despite the thousands of articles, journals and research groups active in Latin America and Spain, international recognition still depends largely on English. The paradox is clear: we produce high-quality science, but the […]
There is a milestone in the life of a scientific journal that is celebrated with an enthusiasm few other academic victories can match: the acceptance email. Whether from Scopus, SciELO, DOAJ or, most elusive of all, MEDLINE/PubMed, that message represents the culmination of a titanic effort. It is the validation of years of rigorous work: […]
In the world of scientific publishing, especially in the vibrant and often precarious ecosystem of university and scholarly society publications, there is a figure who appears on no official organisation chart. A lengthening shadow, a role taken on out of necessity rather than vocation. We are talking about the editor-turned-IT-person. It is that prestigious researcher, […]
In today’s digital age, editorial digitalisation and modernisation are essential for any scientific publication that wants to remain relevant, prestigious and influential in the global academic community. One of the key elements in this digitalisation process is the Digital Object Identifier (DOI). In this complete guide, we explain in detail why you need a DOI, […]
Economic sustainability is a recurring challenge for the editorial boards of scholarly journals, especially when resources are limited and quality expectations keep rising. Over the last fifteen years we have supported medicine, nursing, social sciences and humanities journals in Latin America and Spain, and we have seen that there is no single funding model that […]
If you manage a scholarly journal, your goal is probably to increase its prestige, visibility and impact in the academic community. One of the best ways to achieve this is through indexing in Scopus. In this comprehensive 2025 guide we explain in detail how to do it step by step. Scopus is one of the […]
At Index we know that maintaining and managing a scholarly journal’s publication history is crucial to preserving its prestige, accessibility and academic value. Over the years we have supported many journals through the complex process of migrating content from legacy systems to a modern, accessible platform. Keeping your back catalogue of published articles accessible makes […]
The Journal Impact Factor measures citations received by articles published in the previous two years. Its narrow window penalises disciplines where knowledge matures slowly. Even so, accreditation committees still look at it. The challenge is to raise that figure without resorting to shortcuts (mass self-citation, poorly rigorous review articles) that end up damaging the journal’s […]
Enthusiasm, fear or caution? Between promises of automation and ethical dilemmas, artificial intelligence is reshaping how science is screened, reviewed and disseminated. This article guides you, without hype or alarmism, through the current uses of AI in scholarly journals, the limits best not crossed and the criteria for deciding whether it is worth implementing in […]
