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.
Publication Ethics
RJLGHS is committed to ethical publishing, editorial independence, and the integrity of the scholarly record. The journal does not accept plagiarism, fabricated or falsified data, duplicate publication, undisclosed conflicts of interest, unethical research conduct, or manipulation of peer review.
Where concerns are substantiated, the journal may reject, correct, retract, or otherwise amend the publication record.
