JDS Communications is now being indexed by the national database PubMed.
PubMed is a free resource maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information and the National Library of Medicine. The database indexes journals primarily in biomedicine and related life sciences fields and contains abstracts and citations, usually with links to the full text. Indexing improves the accessibility of an article by allowing researchers to search PubMed for a specific topic. This increase in visibility can lead to more citations for an article.
Impact factor is a calculation of the average number of citations of articles published in a journal in the previous two years. A higher average number of citations increases the journal’s impact factor, which is generally perceived to be a measure of the relative importance of an academic journal.
There is a rigorous application process for PubMed indexing, and journals must meet a number of requirements before they are even eligible to apply. The journal must have published at least 25 peer-reviewed articles and must have an ISSN. In addition, publishers must have two years of scholarly publishing experience in the life sciences fields.
