International Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism - Indexing and Abstracting

Discovery coverage that supports visibility and citation integrity

IJBM distributes metadata through trusted scholarly infrastructure so published articles are discoverable by clinicians, researchers, and libraries worldwide.

Indexing and discovery are distinct but complementary. Indexing supports citation integrity and persistence, while discovery platforms increase visibility through search and library systems.

Citation Integrity

DOI registration and CrossMark status indicators.

Discovery

Search visibility through major academic platforms.

Transparency

We publish only verifiable indexing information.

Current Indexing Coverage

IJBM content is discoverable through open metadata channels and citation infrastructure that support stable linking and academic visibility. The services listed below reflect current discovery pathways and integrity tools used for published articles.

We update this list as coverage changes and do not claim indexing in services where the journal has not been approved.

Indexing expansion depends on eligibility criteria such as publication quality, consistency, and technical compliance. IJBM maintains transparent communication about indexing status to avoid misleading claims.

Integrity Services

All articles receive DOI registration through Crossref, CrossMark version control, and similarity checks during editorial review to support quality and citation consistency.

Discovery Platforms

Articles are discoverable through Google Scholar, WorldCat, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, CORE, and BASE via open metadata and structured crawling.
