Enhancing the Visibility and Impact of JHRS Publications

Dear Members of the JHRS Editorial Board and Prospective Authors,

We are pleased to inform you that Issue 2, Volume 4 of the Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (JHRS) was officially published on 20th December. The issue is available at the following LINK.

Please note that the submission deadline for the forthcoming issue is 31st January.

I would like to draw your attention to the increasing importance of social media and academic networking platforms in contemporary scientific publishing. A growing body of evidence indicates that articles which are shared, mentioned, cited, and linked across social and scholarly platforms—such as Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Mendeley, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, and similar networks—tend to achieve greater visibility and higher citation rates than those that are not actively disseminated.

I therefore kindly encourage all of you to share and promote your previously published articles in JHRS via your personal and professional online profiles. This can be done very easily: on the right-hand menu of the JHRS website, you will find social media sharing buttons that allow you to disseminate any article of interest with just one click. The entire process takes less than one minute, yet it can have a meaningful impact.

By doing so, you will contribute to:
  • increasing the visibility and citation potential of individual JHRS articles,
  • strengthening the international reach and scientific impact of the journal, and
  • enhancing the overall dissemination of research in the field of health and rehabilitation sciences.
I personally and actively promote numerous JHRS articles through both my personal and journal-related social media accounts, and I strongly believe that collective engagement will further amplify our shared success.

We are also proud to note that JHRS is indexed in several important international databases, including Scopus, EBSCO, ScienceOpen, ERIH PLUS, Hinari and more others.

Finally, we warmly encourage you to consider submitting new manuscripts to JHRS in the near future. We would be honored to receive your scholarly contributions.

Thank you for your continued support and collaboration.

With kind regards,
Editor-in-Chief

    One year of Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences

    Dear readers, respected authors and reviewers,

    Today, August 1, 2023 marks exactly one year since I was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. The publisher of the journal is Alma Mater Europaea - ECM from Maribor, Slovenia, and immediately after its establishment, the Macedonian Scientific Society for Autism joined. I must admit that this was a great validation of my previous more than 20 years of efforts as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation and Journal for ReAttach Therapy and Developmental Diversities in which I selflessly invested my labor and knowledge in academic publishing. For this first birthday, we prepared a pamphlet for which I thank the editor's assistant Andrea Ivanovska for the technical preparation of it. Web administrator Blagoja Janevski, with whom we work day and night to improve the functionality of the website, update new information, etc., certainly deserves thanks. In the end, the highlighters, Prof. Dr. Ludvik Toplak and Assoc. prof. Sebastjan Kristovič who immediately accepted my idea for this new journal and selflessly invest financial resources from AMEU in the development of this new electronic journal. From the other technical and administrative staff of AMEU I am thankful to Tomaž Klojčnik, Uroš Kugl and Špela Pokeržnik.

    The journal by the numbers for one year:

    • 15 papers already published,
    • 25300 visits to the website,
    • Indexed in 20 databases,
    • 24 authors,
    • 40 reviewers,
    • 32 members of the editorial board from 21 countries,
    • Papers from USA, Australia, Ireland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Macedonia.

    We continue with much passion, love and dedication to build this international magazine. The idea is to be read, quoted, indexed as much as possible and to attract attractive authors from all over the world. If you are interested in seeing our year-long growth, please visit the website at the link above and the magazine's blog. We are inviting you to submit your paper HERE.

    May we have a happy first birthday on the eve of the great Macedonian national holiday ILINDEN!

    Retraction policy

    The infringement of the legal limitations of the publisher, copyright holder or author(s), the violation of professional ethical codes and research misconduct, such as multiple submissions, duplicate or overlapping publication, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data and data fabrication, honest errors reported by the authors (for example, errors due to the mixing up of samples or use of a scientific tool or equipment that is found subsequently to be faulty), unethical research or any major misconduct require retraction of an article. Occasionally a retraction can be used to correct errors in submission or publication. The main reason for withdrawal or retraction is to correct the mistake while preserving the integrity of science; it is not to punish the author.

    For any retracted article, the reason for retraction and who is instigating the retraction will be clearly stated in the Retraction notice. Standards for dealing with retractions have been developed by a number of library and scholarly bodies, and this practice has been adopted for article retraction by Journal of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences: in the electronic version of the retraction note, a link is made to the original article. In the electronic version of the original article, a link is made to the retraction note where it is clearly stated that the article has been retracted. The original article is retained unchanged, save for a watermark on the PDF indicating on each page that it is “retracted.”

    Journal indexing: Understanding the basics

    In order to be known as an authoritative source of scientific information, and to stand out from among many other publications that are crowding the publishing space, journals must increase their visibility, availability, and readership. One of the ways by which journals can achieve this is by getting their publication indexed by one or more leading databases.

    Why is indexing essential?Indexing will help your journal achieve its main purpose of being accessible to a wide audience.
    Being accessible in turn will improve your journal’s reputation as a reliable source of high-quality information in your field.
    Database research is the first activity researchers undertake as part of their study, and they naturally look to established, well-known databases. Thus, being indexed in a known database in your field will help increase your journal’s readership.

    How does indexing work?
    Once a journal is indexed by a database, it is immediately made available to all users of that database. Some databases index titles, some index full articles while some others index only the abstract and/or references. There are several abstracting and indexing services available today. Some are affiliated with institutions (e.g., PubMed maintained by the United States National Library of Medicine at the National Institute of Health) while some are provided by publishers (e.g., Scopus by Elsevier). Irrespective of which institution the database is affiliated with, you will need to formally apply for inclusion in the database of your choice.

    How should you go about getting your journal indexed?
    Choose the right database!
    Just as journal editors do not consider manuscripts that lie outside the scope of their journal, indexing companies do not consider journals that lie outside their scope. Choose a database that indexes journals from your field. It is also important to understand the features the database provides. Some databases only index abstracts, where users will be able to view relevant abstracts of articles published in your journal. Some get professional indexers to scan entire manuscripts and index keywords. Some others also include citations in their indexing system. Knowing how exactly your journal will be visible and accessible to the user will also help you choose the right journal indexing database. Detailed information about how the database works will be included on its web page.

    Understand the selection process followed by the database you have chosen!
    Some general criteria that databases use to evaluate a journal’s suitability for indexing are quality of content published, publishing timeliness, and journal workflow and processes. Typically, to get indexed, a journal has to submit a formal application to the database and provide relevant documents and evidence supporting its application. If the journal meets all criteria, it gets indexed. The process of getting indexed is similar to manuscript submission and peer review: journals submit their documents and wait for their application to be reviewed by the database. If your journal does not meet the criteria required for indexing, you may need to introduce some changes in your journal workflow to make sure that your journal is eligible.

    Ensure your journal processes are smooth and efficient!
    Make sure your journal meets the basic publication standards required by the industry (author friendly systems, smooth and timely peer reviews, easy accessibility, etc.). In your application it should be clear that your journal is worthy of being indexed by the database you choose.

    Approach a company with multiple databases!
    Companies like Elsevier and Thomson Reuters offer several indexes that cater to journals. In such cases, it might be a good idea to check the full list of products or services offered and apply to those that are relevant to your journal.

    Where should you get indexed?
    As we advised the journal Clinical Endoscopy, it is essential to choose an indexing company/database that is in line with your journal’s scope. Here’s a list of common databases you could explore.Scopus: Managed by the publishing company Elsevier, Scopus indexes journals from the fields of science, technology, medicine, social sciences, and arts and humanities. It also provides research analysis and tracking tools.
    EMBASE (Excerpta Medica database): Also maintained by Elsevier, EMBASE is a biomedical database accessed by researchers, information managers, regulatory specialists, clinicians, medical librarians, educators and physicians. (Elsevier maintains other databases such as EMcare and Engineering Village.)
    PubMed: Maintained by the United States National Library of Medicine, PubMed covers biomedical literature from life science journals, and online books. It also accesses the MEDLINE bibliographic database of reference and abstracts.
    SCIE (Science Citation Index-Expanded): SCIE is a product by Thomson Reuters. It covers journals from a range of scientific and technical fields. It also provides some data analysis options.
    BIOSIS Citation Index: Also by Thomson Reuters, BIOSIS covers a range of biological and biomedical sciences.
    DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals): DOAJ is an online directory that indexes and provides access to open access, peer-reviewed journals covering history, religion, geography, language and literature, etc.
    Ovid: Ovid is a branch of Wolters Kluwer. Ovid databases cover a wide range of topics including clinical medicine, pharmacology.
    EBSCO Information Services: The EBSCO database includes titles compiled by the company as well as journals from other databases/publishers such as Medline and EconLit. The company also maintains Academic Search Complete, which covers the full-text of journals.
    BioOne Abstracts and Indexes: These provide access to peer-reviewed research in the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences.
