The journal is currently in the process of applying for indexing in regional and international databases. This page will be updated as the journal is accepted into indexing services.

Targeted Databases

AMJSMS is actively pursuing indexing in the following databases and directories:

  • Google Scholar

Why Indexing Matters

  • Increases the visibility and discoverability of published articles.
  • Enhances citation potential for published research.
  • Provides quality assurance signals to authors, institutions, and funding bodies.
  • Supports academic career development of publishing authors.

For Authors

Authors can help increase the discoverability of their articles by choosing descriptive titles, writing clear abstracts, selecting relevant keywords, including their ORCID iD, and sharing published articles on academic platforms and institutional repositories.
