Indexing & Metadata Transparency Policy
Samvakti Journals is committed to maintaining a transparent, ethical, and accurate approach to indexing, abstracting, and metadata management. This policy outlines how indexing information is communicated, how metadata is handled, and what authors and readers can expect regarding the discoverability of published content.
This policy applies to all journals published under Samvakti Pvt. Ltd.
1. Transparency in Indexing Status
Samvakti Journals provides accurate and up-to-date information on the indexing or listing status of its journals.
- Indexing information displayed on the journal website reflects current, verifiable status only.
- The journal does not claim indexing in databases where formal acceptance has not been granted.
- Any changes in indexing status—whether acceptance, renewal, or removal—will be updated promptly on the website.
Authors are encouraged to verify indexing information directly with indexing service websites for the most reliable updates.
2. Ethical Representation of Indexing and Metrics
To maintain publication integrity:
- The journal will not present misleading metrics, impact indicators, or indexing claims.
- Only legitimate and recognized indexing bodies or services will be listed.
- The journal does not participate in or promote fabricated, deceptive, or non-standard metrics.
- All indexing and metadata representations are guided by internationally accepted publishing transparency standards.
Claims about journal performance will always be based on verifiable data.

Samvakti Journals ensures that metadata for all published articles is accurate, complete, and consistent with international scholarly communication standards.
Metadata includes:
