Indexing and Preservation
Where this journal’s articles are registered, harvested, discoverable and preserved — each service named with what it actually does, and the journal’s current status in it.
ISSN 2690-4837 DOI prefix 10.14302 Status checked 14 September 2026
01 · Journal identifiers
How the journal is identified
Registration of an identifier establishes that a title exists and can be cited unambiguously. It is a separate thing from indexing, and this page keeps the two apart.
- ISSN
- 2690-4837 (electronic). The same identifier appears in the journal’s National Library of Medicine catalog record, its Crossref journal record and its OpenAlex source record.
- NLM title data
- The National Library of Medicine catalog holds the title under the abbreviation Int J Infect Prev, with a publication start year of 2018 and the United States as country of publication. NLM catalog record 532793.
02 · DOI registration
Persistent identifiers
Articles are registered with Crossref under the DOI prefix 10.14302, so each has a permanent link that resolves independently of this website.
Crossref registration makes an article citable and its metadata distributable. It is a registration service, and this journal states it as one.
03 · Metadata harvesting
How other systems collect the metadata
- OAI-PMH
- The publishing platform exposes an Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting endpoint, through which aggregators and library systems can collect article metadata directly.
- Article-level metadata for search
- Each article page carries the structured citation metadata that scholarly search services read — title, authors, journal, ISSN, volume, issue, pagination, publication date and DOI — together with links to the full text and PDF.
04 · Discovery services
Where the articles surface
A discovery service gathers records broadly from metadata and citation data. Coverage by one of them means an article can be found there; it is a different thing from selective journal-level indexing, which section 05 covers.
- OpenAlex
- OpenAlex holds a source record for this journal under ISSN 2690-4837, with Open Access Pub as the host organization, and carries its articles as works.
- Semantic Scholar
- Semantic Scholar resolves the journal’s registered DOIs and records the journal as the publication venue.
- Google Scholar
- The journal supplies the article-level citation metadata that Google Scholar reads, and its full text and PDF are openly accessible for crawling. Whether any particular service includes a given article remains that service’s own decision, made under its own inclusion and crawling guidelines.
05 · Selective indexing
Verified journal-level indexing
Selective indexing means a database has evaluated the journal as a title and chosen to cover it. The journal’s current position, checked on 14 September 2026, is set out below in full.
- MEDLINE
- The National Library of Medicine catalog record gives the journal’s current indexing status as not currently indexed for MEDLINE, and records that the PubMed citations carrying this journal’s name arise from individual manuscripts deposited in PubMed Central under public-access policies rather than from journal-level coverage. NLM catalog record 532793.
- PubMed Central deposit
- Eligible NIH-funded manuscripts may be deposited individually in PubMed Central through the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS). This is a route open to an individual author for an individual manuscript, and it is how the selected PubMed citations above arose. Depositing one manuscript this way establishes coverage for that manuscript alone.
- Directory of Open Access Journals
- A DOAJ search on the journal’s ISSN returns no record, and OpenAlex reports the same status for the title. The journal is therefore outside DOAJ at the date above.
- The complete list
- Sections 01 to 04 and the entries above are the whole of the journal’s verified position. Any service not named on this page has not been confirmed for this title, and the journal makes no claim about it.
06 · Digital preservation
Keeping the record available
This journal’s content is committed to Portico, a not-for-profit digital-preservation archive run by ITHAKA (the organization behind JSTOR). As articles are deposited they enter Portico’s permanent archive, so the scholarly record stays available for the long term — even if a title one day ceases to publish.
Read our preservation policy. The publisher’s Portico record is at portico.org/publishers/openap.
