Information For Librarians

We greatly value the role of librarians in supporting the academic and research communities. The International Journal of Scientific Discoveries (IJSD) is committed to providing open access, high-quality, peer-reviewed content to all users, including students, researchers, and professionals in various scientific fields. Below is essential information that can assist librarians in promoting and supporting access to our journal.

1. Open Access

IJSD follows an open-access publishing model, meaning that all content is freely available to readers without any subscription or paywall. This allows users to access and download articles directly from our website, ensuring the widest dissemination and visibility of scientific research.

2. Institutional Access

Although the journal is open-access, we offer institutions the option to link directly to our content via institutional repositories or library systems. We encourage librarians to facilitate access to the journal by providing links to articles and ensuring that the journal’s content is discoverable through your institution’s digital library platform.

3. Metadata and Indexing

IJSD is committed to the discoverability of its articles. We provide comprehensive metadata for all articles published in the journal. Librarians can access and integrate metadata, such as DOIs, titles, abstracts, and keywords, into library catalogs or institutional repositories. We are also indexed in a range of global databases and repositories to maximize the reach of our published content.

4. Journal Promotion

Librarians play a crucial role in promoting the journal within their institution. Here are some ways you can help:

• Provide Access: Ensure students, faculty, and researchers are aware of IJSD’s content and can easily access it from your library’s portal.
• Share with Faculty: Encourage faculty members to use the journal as a reference for their research or course materials.
• Library Newsletters: Include information about IJSD in library newsletters or bulletins to raise awareness of the journal’s content.
• Library Websites: Add links to IJSD from your library's website or institutional repositories to guide users directly to the journal.

5. Usage Statistics

We provide usage statistics on article views, downloads, and engagement metrics. Librarians can use these statistics to understand how IJSD’s content is being used and to promote its visibility within the institution.

6. Support for Library Staff

If your institution requires any support related to journal access, licensing, or other services, please contact our editorial team. We are happy to work with librarians to provide resources or answer any questions you may have about accessing our content or promoting the journal at your institution.

7. DOI and Citation Help

Each article published in IJSD includes a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), ensuring stable and permanent links to content. Librarians can help students and researchers cite our articles correctly by using these DOIs in their references.

8. Copyright and Licensing

IJSD’s articles are published under the Creative Commons license, which ensures open access and allows for broader reuse, including educational, research, and non-commercial purposes. Librarians can inform users about how articles can be legally reused and cited under these licenses.

9. Institutional Subscriptions

While IJSD operates on an open-access model, we encourage institutions to support the journal through donations or sponsorship programs to help maintain its sustainability and further enhance its impact. This also enables your institution to be recognized as a supporter of scientific research and innovation.
