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.

JFD supports update transparency 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 improve citation reliability. This supports fungal checklists, biodiversity inventories, and applied research documentation. It also helps integrate records with data portals.

After acceptance, JFD prepares clean metadata, registers the DOI, and publishes the article in open access formats. Sitemaps and structured records support rapid discovery in scholarly search engines and library systems. As citations accumulate, indexing services update records, which improves long term visibility for fungal biodiversity research across disciplines. Authors can reference these records for funder reporting, institutional assessments, and biodiversity cataloging efforts.

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: JFD 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.
