RIYAADA Journal of Leadership and Governance in Healthcare System (RJLGHS) is committed to enhancing the discoverability, visibility, and scholarly accessibility of the research it publishes. Indexing and abstracting are important dimensions of this commitment because they improve retrieval, support citation, increase dissemination, and strengthen the integration of published work into academic, policy, and professional knowledge systems.
The journal therefore seeks to maintain publishing standards, metadata quality, editorial consistency, and policy transparency in ways that support inclusion in appropriate indexing, abstracting, cataloguing, and discovery services over time. Such services play an important role in ensuring that published scholarship can be found, assessed, cited, and used across diverse institutional and geographic settings.
Indexing readiness depends not only on technical inclusion in a database or service, but also on the quality and consistency of the journal’s editorial and publishing practices. For this reason, the journal gives attention to issues such as peer review integrity, publication ethics, metadata completeness, citation consistency, article-level discoverability, licensing clarity, website transparency, and publication regularity. These elements strengthen both scholarly credibility and the journal’s preparedness for inclusion in recognized discovery systems.
The journal may be listed, indexed, abstracted, catalogued, or harvested in relevant services as such inclusion is formally achieved and verified. Only services in which the journal has been officially accepted, indexed, or made discoverable should be presented as current coverage. The journal does not claim inclusion in any database, directory, or indexing service until such status has been formally confirmed.
This page should therefore be understood as both an information page and a transparency commitment. It reflects the journal’s intention to communicate indexing status accurately and responsibly, and to distinguish clearly between current inclusion, planned applications, and aspirational goals.
About the Journal
The RIYAADA Journal of Leadership, Governance and Health Systems (RJLGHS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published by the RIYAADA Institute for Leadership & Governance in Mogadishu, Somalia.
The journal serves as a vital bridge connecting evidence with public action. We provide a platform for original research and critical analysis, with a specific focus on work emerging from underrepresented contexts, reform settings, and complex systems where implementation realities are paramount.
Many complex and fragile settings generate urgent policy lessons that often remain underrepresented in formal scholarly communication. RJLGHS exists to make this work visible, citable, and usable for researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers worldwide.
