The JEP consists of experienced indexers, with various subject matter backgrounds, who examine and evaluate new journals for conformity to scope and other criteria. The JEP periodically reviews the journals on this list to ensure that they continue to meet the selection criteria.
Emphasis is placed on the indexing of journals published in the United States.
Indexing of newly added titles will generally commence with the first issue of the current volume. In the main section, journals are listed alphabetically by full title. All words, including articles, prepositions, and conjunctions, are included for alphabetical purposes with the exception of initial articles, which are ignored for alphabetizing but are included for accuracy. The International Standard Serial Number, a unique identifier for serial titles, is included when available. Coverage information is not included for monographic series which can encompass a broad subject range.
