Indexing Guidelines for Publishers

Each journal must have a single, dedicated journal homepage URL.
Each article must be accessible via one stable PDF URL.
Once indexed, each journal receives a unique directory record in CiteFactor.
Directory links must point to the journal homepage, not a collection or portal.
