I’m curious about how different journal indexing platforms are perceived in your country, particularly in the context of academic competitions and evaluations. Could you share your insights on the following?

  • Does DOAJ hold significant academic value in your country?
  • In academic competitions, does a publication indexed in Scopus or Web of Science carry more weight?
  • If Scopus quartiles are recognized, which ones are considered valuable (e.g., Q1, Q2, etc.)?
  • On Web of Science, is there an equivalent ranking system that corresponds to the quartiles of Scopus?
  • Is PubMed/Medline recognized as a valuable index in academic evaluations?
  • Your input would be extremely helpful for understanding how these criteria impact researchers globally.

    Thank you!
