International Journal of Ethology - Indexing and Abstracting
Discovery pathways that support visibility and citation integrity
Current Indexing Coverage
International Journal of Ethology distributes metadata through trusted scholarly infrastructure so published articles are discoverable by researchers, conservation practitioners, and libraries worldwide.
Indexing supports citation integrity and persistence, while discovery platforms increase visibility through search and library systems.
We update indexing information as coverage changes and do not claim inclusion where approval has not been granted.
Structured metadata and persistent identifiers help improve discovery and citation matching for ethology research.
Discovery platforms typically index new content within days of publication when metadata feeds are available.
Including ORCID identifiers and accurate affiliations improves author attribution across indexing systems.
