Some journals are currently being covered by the SCIE for many years and have received official Impact Factors other journals are being considered by the PubMed/MEDLINE and will be archived through PubMed Central (PMC).
ResearchrsLinks Journals: Open Access and Free for Readers
All journals operated and run by ResearchersLinks alone or in association with societies or institutions are fully open access and all contents are freely available to everyone. In order to achieve this goal, some of our journals are financed by their institutions or societies, other are self-sustained (see our Financial Policies) and rest are financed by the article processing charges (APC). Financial support for APC is usually provided by the authors' institutes or research funding bodies. Read more about our Open Access and Public Access Policy.

Data Availability for Indexing and Generation of Metadata
ResearchersLinks partner with several leading indexing and services databases which are continuously parsing contents and can access contents automatically. In order to obtain such permission, we request you to contact us for more details.
Data availability through Crossref: Being a member of the Crossref, we assign DOI numbers to each published articles. The DOI number prefix assigned to ResearchersLinks documents is “10.17582”. These metadata are deposited to the Crossref on daily bases, however, please note that due to regional time differences if DOI numbers are assigned on the same day, these become available and functional on the next day. You can access and request metadata from Crossref through CURL protocol. Shown here is an example for the 10.17582/journal.pjz/2018.50.1.1.5:
curl -L -H "Accept: application/unixref+xml" " http://dx.doi.org/10.17582/journal.pjz/2018.50.1.1.5"
Data availability through HTML access: ResearchersLinks maintains all published contents in HTML format for indexing databases. These files can generally be delivered through File Transfer Protocol (FTP). We can make you accessible to these content as well as metadata. Please contact us for more information and to discuss the possibility to setup additional parsing options.
Data availability through page scrapping: All contents of ResearchersLinks are assembled and organized into standardized metadata in Google Scholar formats that are embedded in the source code of the article's abstract pages. We provide the following vocabulary to be parsed by the Google Scholar:
• citation_journal_title (full name of the journal, e.g. Host and Viruses)
• citation_publisher (name of the publisher, i.e. ResearchersLinks)
• citation_authors (authors' full names as one entry in the following format: Richard, Shaw.; Dundon Williams; Diago Paris; Baule Claudia)
• citation_title (title of the article)
• citation_date (publication date in the format yyyy-mm-dd)
• citation_volume (volume number)
• citation_issue (issue number)
• citation_firstpage (first page or article number)
• citation_lastpage (last page, if available)
• citation_doi (article's doi number)
• citation_id (unique ID for each article)
• citation_abstract_html_url (URL to the article's abstract page)
• citation_pdf_url (URL to the article's PDF full-text)
