Why register journals and articles

Journals and articles remain the starting point for researchers exploring previous research, and provide a great way to discover links and relationships with other parts of the research nexus. Registering your journals and articles with us ensures that metadata about them are shared across the scholarly ecosystem with library discovery systems, scholarly sharing networks, specialist databases, metrics and analytics tools and much more.

Obligations and limitations
