3D Printing and Applications
Indexing and discovery built for long term visibility
Journal Indexing
J3DPA is committed to making additive manufacturing research easy to find, cite, and verify. We support trusted scholarly infrastructure and open metadata practices so your work can be discovered by researchers, libraries, and industry teams worldwide.
Citation Integrity
Every accepted article receives a Crossref DOI, which provides a permanent identifier and dependable citation tracking. This DOI ensures your work remains findable even if URLs change and supports consistent reference linking across journals, databases, and reference managers.
J3DPA supports update transparency through Crossmark style versioning and uses similarity screening during editorial review to protect research integrity. These services build confidence for readers and reviewers who depend on accurate, traceable scholarship.
Journal identity is anchored through the ISSN registry, which provides bibliographic control and supports institutional verification. Accurate metadata and clear journal labeling reduce ambiguity and help ensure that additive manufacturing research is attributed correctly across different citation environments.
Discovery Channels
Academic Search Engines
Open metadata supports discovery in scholarly search platforms such as Google Scholar. Visibility in these systems helps 3D printing research reach engineers, graduate students, and R and D teams quickly.
Library Discovery
Library catalogs and discovery services harvest structured metadata for indexing. This makes J3DPA articles visible to institutional readers who rely on library tools for literature reviews.
Open Index Aggregators
Open access content is discoverable through services such as OpenAlex, CORE, BASE, and Semantic Scholar. These systems crawl open metadata and help map citation networks across disciplines.
Journal Registries
The journal is registered with the ISSN portal (ISSN 2831-8846) and listed in directories that help libraries and researchers verify journal identity and scope.

Transparency and Verification
Indexing vs discovery: Indexing refers to structured inclusion in citation systems such as Crossref DOIs. Discovery refers to search and library platforms that surface articles through open metadata. Both are essential for research impact, but inclusion criteria vary by service.
Accurate claims: J3DPA publishes verifiable information about indexing and discovery. If you need confirmation about a specific service or institutional requirement, contact the editorial office at [email protected]. We can provide guidance for funder or institutional compliance needs.
