BJBM is committed to accurate discoverability claims, persistent metadata, and long-term preservation of the scholarly record.
Principle of Accurate Claims
The journal will list only services, databases, indexes, directories, and preservation arrangements that currently and verifiably include the journal or its content. Aspirational targets or pending applications will not be presented as achieved coverage.
Current Indexing and Abstracting
The journal’s currently confirmed indexing, abstracting, or directory coverage is: [to include the indexing services]
Metadata and Identifiers
BJBM aims to maintain accurate article metadata, including titles, abstracts, keywords, authorship details, licensing information, issue assignment, pagination or article identifiers where used, and DOI or other persistent identifiers where applicable.
Preservation and Archiving
The journal is committed to long-term accessibility and preservation of its published content. Preservation arrangements may include institutional archiving, PKP PN, LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, repository deposit, backup systems, or other preservation services actually in place.
Corrections to Records
Where indexing metadata, licensing information, author details, or article records require correction, the journal will update them responsibly and transparently.
Discoverability
The journal seeks broad lawful discoverability through good metadata practice, ethical indexing applications, persistent identifiers, search-engine visibility, and transparent publication information.
