Abstract :
In order to maintain a searchable database/standards of the journals, different indexing services were started by governments, institutes of health and academic setups. PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, Index Medicus and DOAJ are few of the well known indexing services for health science journals. Indexing in these databases is important for the journal’s visibility which in turn directly affects the readability, attraction of authors to send in their submissions
