Our Approach Includes:

• ISBN (International Standard Book Number): The official conference proceedings will be assigned an ISBN. This is a standard identifier for books and book-like products, including conference proceedings, and facilitates their cataloging and identification by libraries and academic databases.
• Potential for Inclusion in Reputable Databases: We are actively exploring and working with indexing services that are recognized and respected within the academic community. This may include databases that specialize in conference proceedings or broader academic literature indexes. Our selection criteria prioritize databases that enhance the discoverability of the published content.
• Digital Archiving and Accessibility: The conference proceedings will be digitally archived and made accessible to conference participants and potentially to a wider audience through the conference website or a dedicated platform. This ensures long-term preservation and ease of access to the presented research.
• Commitment to Quality: The peer-review process for full paper submissions to ICON-ABM 2025 is rigorous, aiming to ensure the quality and scholarly merit of the content included in the proceedings. This quality is a key factor considered by indexing services.

Regarding Scopus Indexing Specifically:

While we aim for the highest possible level of indexing, inclusion in Scopus is subject to their independent evaluation criteria. We will provide updates to conference participants regarding the indexing status of the APSPBI ICON-ABM 2025 proceedings as information becomes available.

Reputable Indexing Beyond Scopus:

It’s important to note that there are other reputable indexing services that enhance the visibility and impact of academic work. We are exploring partnerships with these services to ensure the proceedings are discoverable by a wide range of researchers.
