Free journal and article search
Journals by title or ISSN — publisher, subject, open access, DOAJ, DOIs registered — and articles, authors and who cites them. Every result links to the registry it came from.
What you can search
Run a journal?
The free Journal Readiness Check reads your journal against what DOAJ, Scopus and Web of Science ask for, with the fix for each line.
Questions people ask
Is this journal search free?
Yes. Searching journals, articles, authors and countries is free and needs no account. An account is needed only to be alerted by e-mail when a journal publishes or an author's new paper is registered.
Where do the facts come from?
From the two open scholarly registries: Crossref (the DOIs a journal has registered, and each article's record) and OpenAlex (journals, authors, citations and countries; its data is CC0). Every result links to the record it came from, and to the ISSN Portal for the ISSN.
How do I know if a journal is in DOAJ?
Search the journal's title or ISSN: each result shows "In DOAJ" or "Not in DOAJ" as OpenAlex records it, with a link to the journal's DOAJ page when it is listed. DOAJ's own site is the final word.
How do I see who cites an article?
Search the article's title or paste its DOI under Articles, then press "Who cites this". The citing works are read from OpenAlex, most cited first.
Our journal shows no DOIs. What can we do?
A journal with no DOIs at Crossref can have them registered for its past and new articles. The free Journal Readiness Check shows what else the journal needs before an index will accept it.
Journal, author, citation and country facts: OpenAlex (CC0). DOIs and article records: Crossref. Each answer is kept for a day.
