The Journal of Oral and Molecular Translational Medicine (JOMTM) was established with a deliberate and structured pathway toward international bibliometric indexing. The journal’s editorial governance, peer review framework, publication ethics policies, and content standards have been aligned from inception with the evaluation criteria of major indexing and abstracting bodies.
JOMTM is committed to ensuring that all published research is widely discoverable, globally accessible, and permanently citable, thereby maximizing scholarly visibility and academic impact across the fields of translational medicine and oral sciences.
Current Indexing and Accessibility
At present, JOMTM is indexed in and accessible through:
- Google Scholar – All published articles are indexed for worldwide academic discoverability;
- Crossref DOI Registration – Digital Object Identifier (DOI) implementation will commence immediately following publication of the first issue of Volume 1, after which every published article will receive a unique DOI for permanent citation and stable identification.
