Hello dear all,
The APJTBM is recently transferred to Wolters Kluwer India Pvt Ltd (it was edited by Elsevier). Do you know why and what does this mean ? .. do they have the same quality ? is the journal still indexed by Scopus ??! .. in which class the journal is ?.
Thank you for the answers.
Hello Abir. We published a paper on the "Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine", journal edited by Elsevier. You can visit the official website on: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/asian-pacific-journal-of-tropical-biomedicine/ But the editor is displaying the following message on the website: " Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine (APJTB) is no longer accepting any new submissions at this time as the journal will be transferred to Wolters Kluwer India Pvt Ltd, effective 1 January 2018. For more information and how to submit the papers to the journal, please contact the journal editorial..." This journal is still indexed by many scientific databases: - Thomson Reuters: http://mjl.clarivate.com/cgi-bin/jrnlst/jlresults.cgi?PC=MASTER&Full=Asian%20Pacific%20Journal%20of%20Tropical%20Biomedicine - Scopus: https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/20700195024 Wish you good luck for your submission Regards
Thank you Mahieddine.
I found in Scopus Preview that ,for this journal (APJTB), Scopus coverage years is from 2011 to 2017 !! and the publisher is Elsevier BV in this period .. but now when you visit the journal to register you find the message written above !... What I've understand is that Scopus doesn't cover this journal now and the editor is not the same also (it's Wolters Kluwer) !! .. what has changed now and what do you think (is the journal APJTB) still indexed ?? .. if you have another page for this journal, please send it for me ...
Best regards.
Dear Abir,
Yes the journal is still indexed, you can verify links given by Mahieddine.
Good luck,
Yes, I did that dear Amina but I didn't understand what coverage stands really for, and when I saw that the coverage of the journal in one of the links above is now Science Citation Index Expanded, Zoological Record and BIOSIS Previews .. and not Scopus (2011-2017).. I was in doubt .. what I mean, does Thomson Reuters indexes this journal when it is published by Wolters Kluwer or not ? .. I found the answer and then I found that there is another page for this journal where the publisher is still Elsevier .. here is the link : http://www.apjtb.com/submission.htm .. I don't know if it is normal that a journal can be publised by two publishers in the same time !! .. I sent an email to the one of Wolters Kluwer .. I received the answer in the same moment but gmail told me that the identity of the sender (APJTBM) is not confirmed !! .. I don't know where is the problem !!
Dear Abir,
I found the journal indexed (https://www.journals.elsevier.com/asian-pacific-journal-of-tropical-biomedicine.), but I suggest you to ask directly Elsevier support, they will give you a quick and true response (within 24h).
I think it's better way to know even it stills indexed or not.
Dear Amina,
The link above led me to a "not found page !" (the page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable).
Have you seen this link for the APJTBM ? http://apjtb.com/ .. it seems working .. but when I registred and then tried to submit (just to ensure), they told me that the journal is closed to new submissions ! .. what a labyrinth !!
Regards !
Hi, check the Journal website and check the index in the database.
Thank you Emmanuel.
I contacted the APJTB Editorial Office, told them about the problem and asked to secure their site which is not secure. They answered me that I am in the correct website which I used to register and it will be secure when I login !!. They told me also, that, their journal is indexed by Scopus and it has been indexed by SCI this year but has no IF yet.
