Here’s a clear explanation of
ABCD Index — what it is, and how you can find journals on it. Since you’ve earlier shown interest in
submitting papers, this
should help you use it correctly.
ABCD Index is an
online indexing / journal-directory platform for academic journals across many disciplines — science,
engineering, humanities, social science, medicine, and more.
The
platform’s goal is to help researchers, authors, publishers, and institutions locate “real” journals, by collecting and verifying details such as ISSN, publisher info, publication frequency, access type (open/paid),
indexing status, etc.
ABCD
Index assigns a rating (categories A, B, C, D) to journals — based on evaluation parameters like age of journal, regularity of issues, whether peer review is done, whether journal maintains
proper formatting and editorial standards, indexing credentials, transparency of publication charges, and other metadata.
Through its database, ABCD aims to provide a filterable, searchable directory of journals that helps avoid fake or predatory journals — by offering journal profiles, indexing history, publication details, and community feedback.
