Information we process

We publish journal, article, citation and metadata indicators assembled from open or accessible scholarly sources. We may also process technical log data, aggregated analytics data, contact emails, and journal request form submissions. Journal request forms may include journal names, URLs, ISSN or E-ISSN values, publisher details, country, subject selections, optional notes and an optional email address.

Cookies or similar technologies can be used to measure traffic, prevent abuse, remember technical preferences and support advertising delivery.

How we use submitted information

Journal request and correction information is used to review coverage, verify records, improve metadata quality and respond to questions when a contact address is provided. We do not sell personal contact information. We may retain request records as part of the audit trail for journal coverage decisions and data quality corrections.

External links and scholarly sources

Journal profile pages may link to publisher websites, catalog records, index pages, DOI pages or other scholarly resources. Those external sites have their own privacy practices. Scientific Worth Index is not responsible for the content or privacy policies of external websites.
