Indexing, Abstracting & Aggregation

The Journal of Food Innovations, Nutrition, and Environmental Sciences (JFINES) is on an exciting journey toward becoming a recognized and respected platform for scholarly research. We are deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic publishing, and part of this commitment involves ensuring that the research we publish is widely accessible and visible to the global academic community.

Our Current Status:

We recognize the importance of visibility in major academic databases, abstracts, and aggregators. We ensure that all articles published in JFINES are indexed, abstracted, or aggregated in widely used and accessible platforms for academic research. This will allow your work to reach a broad audience, including academics, practitioners, and policymakers.

 For now, all articles published in JFINES get indexed in the following databases and aggregators. This list is updated as the journal gets indexed and abstracted, or aggregated in Prominent databases.

  • AJOL (African Journals Online)
  • BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine)
  • DOAJ - (Directory of Open Access Journals)
  • Dimensions
  • Google Scholar
  •  J-Gate  
  • Lens.org
  • Libkey
  • Semantic Scholar
  • Scilit
  • Scinapse
  • WorldCat

Our Vision for the Future:

  • Building Recognition: We understand that indexing in established databases is a critical factor for many authors when choosing where to submit their work. While JFINES is still in its early stages, we are committed to achieving indexing in major databases such as DOAJ (indexed), AJOL (Accepted), EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science, and others as we grow. We view this as a long-term goal and are taking deliberate steps to meet the rigorous criteria required by these indexing services.
  • Commitment to Quality: Achieving indexing in prestigious databases requires consistent publication of high-quality research, rigorous peer review, and adherence to the best practices in academic publishing. We are dedicated to building a journal that upholds these values, and we believe that with the support of our authors, reviewers, and readers, we will achieve this recognition.
