Google Scholar

Articles published in Islamic Sciences are also discoverable through Google Scholar.

Readers may search the journal by title together with its ISSN to avoid confusion with other publications carrying similar names.

DOI and Article Identification

Articles carrying a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) retain a persistent article-level identifier that may be used for citation, linking, and scholarly discovery.

Where a DOI has been assigned, it appears on the individual article record.

The journal’s ISSNs identify the continuing publication as a whole, while the DOI identifies a particular article.

Library Discovery

Islamic Sciences may also be located through university library catalogues and institutional discovery systems.

Such records normally identify the journal through its title, publisher, and ISSNs and may connect readers to holdings available through EBSCO, ProQuest, or other library services.

Library catalogue presence is useful for discovery, although it is not treated here as the same thing as formal indexing or abstracting.

Journal Archive

The archive of Islamic Sciences includes both recent and earlier scholarship published by the Center for Islamic Sciences.

The journal began in 2003 under the title Islam & Science and later continued under its present title, Islamic Sciences. Earlier volumes remain part of the same broader scholarly publication history.

The archive preserves original volume, issue, pagination, and publication information so that older articles may continue to be cited and located accurately.

Digital Archiving

The journal maintains access to its published material through its own online and archival infrastructure.

Historical article files and publication records are retained so that earlier scholarship remains available alongside current issues.

Islamic Sciences does not describe itself as participating in external preservation programmes such as Portico, CLOCKSS, or LOCKSS unless such participation has been formally confirmed.

Metadata and Scholarly Discovery

The journal maintains article-level publication information in order to support accurate citation and discovery.

This normally includes:

  • Article title

  • Author name and affiliation

  • Abstract

  • Keywords

  • Volume and issue

  • Page range

  • ISSN information

  • DOI, where assigned

  • References and bibliographic details

  • Stable article and archive records

Careful metadata also helps distinguish Islamic Sciences from other journals with similar titles.

Keeping This Record Current

Indexing and database coverage can change over time. For that reason, Islamic Sciences aims to list only services for which its presence can be reasonably verified.

The journal also distinguishes between formal indexing, bibliographic coverage, library discovery, and search-engine visibility rather than treating them as the same form of recognition.

This page will be updated as the journal’s indexing, discovery, and preservation arrangements develop.
