When a paper is not indexed, it means that the paper has not been included in the databases or repositories commonly used by researchers, scholars, and institutions to search for and access academic and scientific literature. Indexing is a critical step in the publication process, as it ensures that a paper becomes discoverable and accessible to a wider audience. Papers that are not indexed are often overlooked by researchers and may not contribute significantly to the academic discourse in a particular field. There are various reasons why a paper might not be indexed; it could be due to issues with the quality of the paper, the choice of publication venue, or it may simply not have been submitted to an appropriate indexing service. As a result, such papers may have limited visibility and impact within the academic community. Researchers often strive to publish their work in indexed journals and conferences to increase the chances of their research being recognized and cited by others in their field.
