Indexing and Abstracting

The Journal of the Ethiopian Society of Chemical Engineering (JESChE) is committed to increasing the visibility, accessibility, and impact of published research by maintaining high-quality metadata and applying for inclusion in recognized indexing and abstracting services.

1. Purpose of Indexing

Indexing and abstracting services help researchers discover published articles, increase citation opportunities, and improve global visibility of scholarly work.

2. Current Indexing and Abstracting Services

JESChE works toward inclusion in recognized scholarly databases and discovery services. The journal's status with each service will be updated as applications are completed and accepted.

  • Google Scholar: Article discovery and scholarly indexing service.
