BRPI Policies

Indexing and Archiving

Ensuring the visibility, discoverability, and long-term accessibility of scholarly research is a cornerstone of The Brooklyn Research and Publishing Institute (BRPI)’s publishing philosophy. To achieve this, all articles published in BRPI journals are systematically indexed, archived, and linked across globally recognized platforms. This approach guarantees that research outputs are permanently accessible, accurately attributed, and integrated into the scholarly ecosystem.

BRPI leverages a suite of leading tools and services to support indexing, archiving, and author recognition, ensuring that articles are easily discoverable by researchers, educators, policymakers, and the wider public.

Commitment to Long-Term Accessibility and Discoverability

Through strategic indexing and archiving partnerships — including Crossref, CrossMark, Google Scholar, ORCID, Scilit, ResearchGate, and Academia.edu — BRPI ensures that every article is:

  • Permanently accessible with a reliable DOI.
  • Transparently updated via CrossMark.
  • Discoverable across major search engines, academic databases, and author networks.
  • Properly attributed to authors through ORCID integration.

This comprehensive approach reinforces BRPI’s mission to maximize the visibility, integrity, and impact of scholarly research while maintaining the highest standards of academic rigor and open-access dissemination.

Crossref Membership and DOI Assignment

BRPI is an independent member of Crossref (Member ID: 53875), one of the most trusted and widely adopted DOI registration agencies in scholarly publishing. Every article published across BRPI journals is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), ensuring a persistent, actionable, and globally resolvable link to the article.

The DOI is displayed prominently on the published article, the article homepage, and other relevant platforms where the article is referenced.

To highlight scholarly impact, BRPI integrates Crossref’s Cited-by statistics on each article homepage, allowing readers and researchers to track citations and engagement over time.

This commitment ensures that BRPI publications are fully traceable, citable, and integrated into global academic workflows.

CrossMark – Verifying Article Currency and Integrity

BRPI participates in Crossref’s CrossMark program, which enables stakeholders to verify the current status of any article. The CrossMark icon (“Check for Update”) is displayed alongside the DOI on the published article and the article homepage.

This feature allows authors, reviewers, editors, users, and regulatory authorities to confirm whether the article is up-to-date or has any post-publication updates. For full transparency, BRPI publishes its CrossMark policy, accessible at: https://doi.org/10.15640/crossmark-policy .

Through CrossMark, BRPI demonstrates its commitment to integrity, accuracy, and responsible scholarly communication.

Google Scholar Indexing

Every BRPI article is archived in Google Scholar, one of the most widely used academic search engines in the world.

Google Scholar indexing ensures that articles are discoverable by a broad global audience, increasing both visibility and citation potential.

The indexing link is published on the article homepage and is generally available within 14 days of publication.

Authors may further enhance discoverability by adding their articles to their personal Google Scholar profiles.

To highlight scholarly impact, BRPI integrates Google Scholar’s citation statistics on each article homepage, allowing readers and researchers to track citations and engagement over time.

ORCID Integration

To promote transparent authorship and scholarly attribution, BRPI incorporates ORCID iDs for all authors at multiple stages:

ORCID iDs are displayed on both the published article and the article homepage.

When registering DOIs through Crossref, the ORCID iDs are embedded, which ensures that the article is automatically linked to each author’s ORCID profile.

The ORCID link for each article is prominently displayed, providing direct access to the author’s verified publication record.

Authors may also update and maintain their ORCID profiles annually to ensure their publication history remains current.

This integration strengthens author visibility and ensures accurate attribution of scholarly work.

Scilit Archiving

BRPI is a listed publisher in Scilit, the comprehensive open-access academic database developed by MDPI.

All BRPI journal articles are archived in Scilit, increasing discoverability among researchers across disciplines.

Each article homepage includes a direct Scilit archiving link for transparency and easy access.

Scilit indexing enhances global visibility, supports cross-disciplinary discovery, and reinforces BRPI’s commitment to open-access knowledge dissemination.

ResearchGate Integration

To maximize outreach and engagement, BRPI actively collaborates with authors to ensure that published articles are added to their ResearchGate profiles.

With support from the BRPI Author Support Team, authors can seamlessly include articles in their professional networks.

The ResearchGate link for each article is displayed on the publication page, enhancing discoverability and visibility within the global academic community.

This strategy helps authors connect with peers, expand readership, and track engagement metrics on a leading scholarly collaboration platform.

Academia.edu Integration

Similar to ResearchGate, BRPI encourages authors with Academia.edu profiles to archive their published articles.

Support from the Author Support Team facilitates smooth uploading and profile integration.

A direct Academia.edu link is displayed on the article publication page, ensuring readers can access and share research conveniently.

This enhances visibility, citation potential, and scholarly engagement across a broad international academic audience.

Summary

BRPI’s robust indexing and archiving infrastructure reflects an unwavering commitment to the global dissemination of knowledge. Every published article is carefully indexed, archived, and linked across trusted platforms, ensuring permanent accessibility, accurate attribution, and maximum scholarly impact.

By leveraging these advanced systems, BRPI not only enhances article discoverability but also empowers authors, researchers, and the public to engage fully with high-quality academic research.
