Indexing / Discovery / Recognition
Indexing, Discovery & Recognition
Advances in Community Services Research (ACSR) distinguishes national journal accreditation, scholarly indexing and discovery, citation visibility, DOI registration, and serial identification. These services perform different functions and should not be represented as equivalent. Journal-level coverage and recognition are reported according to the relevant official records and verifiable scope of each service.
National Accreditation
SINTA 4: ACSR holds national accreditation at Rank 4, as documented in its accreditation certificate under Decree No. 156/C/C3/KPT/2026, dated 7 April 2026. The certificate states coverage from Volume 1, Number 2 (2023), through Volume 6, Number 1 (2028).
National accreditation is distinct from inclusion in international selective citation databases. Accreditation periods follow the responsible authority's stated coverage. Citation indicators and other dynamic information on SINTA may change as the service updates its records.

Scholarly Indexing and Discovery
- GARUDA: ACSR has a journal record in GARUDA, supporting national scholarly indexing and discovery. The record identifies the journal, publisher, electronic ISSN, and associated article information. External descriptions and harvested records may reflect earlier journal information.
- Google Scholar: The ACSR Google Scholar profile provides a route to scholarly discovery and citation information. Article coverage, matching, and citation counts may change. Profile presence does not establish selective source-journal indexing.
- Dimensions: ACSR supplies a Dimensions publication-discovery link. The current source-title match and extent of article coverage have not been independently confirmed. The link is provided for discovery and is not presented as evidence of verified journal-level indexing or complete article coverage.
External services independently collect, match, classify, and update records. Differences in document counts, citations, metadata, or availability may arise from their respective coverage and processing methods. Such differences do not independently justify changes to valid information in the journal's authoritative published record.
DOI Registration and Journal Identification
- Crossref: ACSR uses DOI prefix 10.60079 for applicable published articles. DOI registration supports persistent identification, citation linking, and scholarly metadata. It is distinct from national accreditation and selective source-journal indexing. Search Crossref Records →
- Electronic ISSN: Advances in Community Services Research is identified by E-ISSN 2985-9778. Serial identification establishes the journal's bibliographic identity and is distinct from accreditation, citation performance, DOI registration, or selective-database inclusion. Official ISSN Record →
Journal titles, ISSN information, article identifiers, and deposited metadata should identify ACSR publications accurately. DOI registration and metadata visibility do not, by themselves, establish independent long-term preservation of complete published content.
Indexing Status and Transparency
ACSR reports accreditation, indexing, scholarly discovery, citation visibility, and persistent-identifier services according to their actual and verifiable functions. The journal does not claim confirmed source-journal indexing in Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, or another selective database unless official journal-level inclusion and relevant coverage can be verified.
Applications, pending evaluations, registrations, individual article search results, citation records, metadata presence, references from indexed publications, and unverified third-party statements do not independently establish formal journal-level indexing.
Citedness and source indexing are different: A citation to an ACSR article within a Scopus-indexed publication does not establish that ACSR is itself indexed as a Scopus source journal. Source inclusion must be verified through the responsible database's official journal or coverage records.
When additional coverage or a change in recognition is confirmed, the journal may update this page with the verified service, scope, coverage period, and supporting official record. Planned applications or anticipated recognition must not be presented as completed achievements.
Metadata Quality and Historical Records
ACSR seeks to maintain consistent author names and order, affiliations, ORCID identifiers where applicable, titles, abstracts, keywords, manuscript types, languages, publication dates, volumes, issues, DOI information, funding, CRediT contributions, copyright, and licensing details across the website, Version of Record, DOI records, and relevant scholarly services.
Section information should accurately distinguish Article, accepting Research Paper and Literature Review Paper manuscripts, from Community Partnerships and Impacts, accepting Community Service Article manuscripts. External classification systems may organize records differently and do not independently redefine these journal sections.
Historical external descriptions may reflect information harvested at an earlier time. They do not automatically redefine the current Aims & Scope, manuscript requirements, editorial governance, or Publication Frequency. Material discrepancies may be referred to the relevant service for correction.
Valid historical articles, dates, volume and issue assignments, authorship, DOI records, and citations remain part of the permanent scholarly record. Changes to indexing or metadata practices do not authorize retrospective renumbering, artificial date changes, or undocumented alteration. Genuine errors should be corrected transparently while preserving provenance and traceability.
Indexing and Metadata Contact
Questions concerning accreditation, DOI registration, ISSN information, indexing status, scholarly discovery, citation visibility, or metadata discrepancies may be directed to Muslim Muslim, Managing Editor, at advancesresearch@gmail.com.
Matters involving authorship disputes, research integrity, substantive post-publication changes, or academic editorial judgment must be referred to the responsible academic editor or Muhammad Ridwan Manulusi, Editor-in-Chief. Metadata and indexing administration do not independently authorize changes to substantive article content or scientific-editorial decisions.
