Metadata Filling
The completion of metadata directly affects the citations of articles, authors, and the journal. Careful and attentive completion will provide robust and high-quality metadata, which will have a direct impact on indexing and citation, making them consistent.
Our team reviews the metadata before publication, but the responsibility lies with the authors. After publication and DOI deposit, indexing and citation will follow the information provided in the metadata.
When filling out the metadata during submission, please pay attention to the following items:
- All authors must be entered in the article metadata on the journal’s submission platform.
- Authors cannot be added after submission, regardless of the stage of the editorial process. If any inconsistency is found, the submission will be archived or rejected.
- All fields in the profile must be completed fully: full names of the authors (without abbreviations), complete institution name followed by the acronym, city, state, country, and a brief biography.
- Provide the ORCID® number (Open Researcher and Contributor ID).
a. If you do not have one, register through the link: https://orcid.org/register.
b. Registration is free. - Do not use capital letters in the author metadata, title of the article, abstract body, or keywords.
- Fill in the funding information in the appropriate field, if applicable.
Some forms of metadata completion that negatively impact the quality of articles post-publication:
- Abbreviated author names;
- Institutions listed only in abbreviated format;
- Missing ORCID;
- Titles with incorrect, missing letters, or in uppercase;
- Abstracts not reviewed for typos and language errors;
- References without formatting or using symbols like < >;
- Incorrect field completion, for example: name fields should contain only the name, not titles or honorifics like Mr., Dr., Ms.
Submissions with incomplete metadata will be archived.
