If your journal is indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, TR Dizin, Crossref, or any other database, your readers and potential authors should know about it. Being listed in respected indexes is one of the strongest signals of journal quality — but OJS doesn’t offer a built-in way to showcase this information visually.

That’s exactly the problem our new Indexing Page Manager plugin solves. See Demo

What It Does

The plugin creates a dedicated indexing page on your journal’s website, displaying the databases and indexes you’re listed in as a clean, professional logo gallery. Think of it as your journal’s credibility wall — a single page where visitors immediately see that your journal meets the standards of major indexing services.

You don’t need any coding or template editing skills. Everything is managed through the OJS admin panel: upload a logo, add a label, set the display order, and you’re done. The page is generated automatically and integrates with your journal’s existing navigation.

Why This Matters

Authors choose where to submit based on visibility and prestige. A well-organized indexing page can be the deciding factor for a researcher choosing between your journal and a competitor. Instead of burying this information in an “About” page or listing index names in plain text, you present it as a visual gallery that communicates professionalism at a glance.

For journal managers handling multiple journals, maintaining consistent indexing pages across all publications becomes straightforward — install the plugin once and configure each journal independently.

Key Features

The plugin supports both English and Turkish out of the box, making it particularly useful for journals in Turkey and bilingual publications. You can add as many index entries as needed, each with its own logo and label. The layout is responsive and adapts to any OJS theme, so it looks good on desktop and mobile alike.

Since it works with OJS 3.3+, there’s no need to upgrade your installation to use it.

Free and Open Source

Like many of our plugins, the Indexing Page Manager is completely free. You can download it directly from the GitHub repository, install it through the OJS plugin gallery, and start using it right away.
