Dear Muhammad Altaf ,

SCImago is using the database of Scopus. So, inclusion in SCImago means indexing in Scopus as prerequisite.

I had a look at the journal and the first impression is okay. Proper information, decent editorial board and papers are professionally edited. Some ‘tips’ I can give, cannot fully overview the financial aspects but in the ‘ideal’ world these could improve your journal and make Scopus indexing more likely:

-Try to obtain a DOAJ membership (this is a reassurance for those who want to submit a manuscript that one deals with a legit and genuine open access journal)

-Assign (real) DOI nr to your papers

-Try to attract an international number of researchers to submit manuscripts to your journal (for example by an invitation/call for papers here on RG)

-Try to approach Google Scholar for indexing (this helps the visibility of papers published)

As already said by Bara Mouslim have a close look at the criteria for Scopus inclusion and on how to request for inclusion in Scopus, see for more details: https://www.elsevier.com/solutions/scopus/how-scopus-works/content/content-policy-and-selection

Good luck and kind regards.
