Publication Frequency

Digital Health & Telemonitoring Advances (DHTA) follows a Monthly publication frequency.

The journal aims to publish issues regularly according to its declared monthly schedule.

Publication scheduling is managed through the journal's editorial and production workflow.

Accepted manuscripts are assigned to appropriate issues after completion of editorial review, peer review, acceptance, copyediting, metadata verification, and production requirements.

Open Access and Licensing

DHTA is an Open Access journal.

Articles published by DHTA are made freely accessible online in accordance with the journal's Open Access Policy.

Unless another license is clearly and lawfully identified for historical content or specific third-party material, articles are published under the:

Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).

Under CC BY 4.0, users may share and adapt published material, including for commercial purposes, provided that appropriate attribution is given, the license is identified, and changes are indicated where applicable.

Indexing Transparency

DHTA follows a transparent approach to reporting indexing, abstracting, discovery, and bibliographic information.

The journal distinguishes between:

Formal indexing or database coverage.
Abstracting-service inclusion.
Bibliographic registration.
Academic search-engine discoverability.
Metadata harvesting.
Repository availability.
Citation tracking.
Application for indexing evaluation.
Pending evaluation.
Future indexing plans.

These terms are not treated as equivalent.

The journal will describe itself as indexed, covered, included, or listed in a particular database only when that status can be verified through an authoritative source maintained by the relevant indexing or abstracting organization.

Submission of an application, eligibility assessment, preliminary review, evaluation in progress, or intention to apply does not constitute confirmed indexing.

Confirmed Indexing and Discovery Services

Only indexing, abstracting, bibliographic, registration, preservation, or scholarly discovery services in which DHTA's inclusion can be independently verified should be listed as confirmed services.

Where available, the journal should provide:

Name of the service.
Type of service.
Official journal record or profile.
Relevant identifier.
Date of inclusion, where known.

Appearance of an individual article in a general search engine or third-party academic website does not automatically constitute formal journal-level indexing.

Scopus

Digital Health & Telemonitoring Advances (DHTA) will describe itself as Scopus indexed only after official Scopus coverage has been formally confirmed through an authoritative Scopus source.

Application to Scopus, technical eligibility assessment, submission for evaluation, or evaluation in progress will not be represented as confirmed Scopus indexing.

Until official coverage is confirmed, DHTA will not:

Describe itself as Scopus Indexed.
Display a Scopus logo in a manner that implies confirmed indexing.
Treat submission to Scopus as equivalent to acceptance.
Represent pending evaluation as confirmed coverage.
Describe technical eligibility as successful indexing.
Use language that could reasonably give authors or readers the impression that Scopus coverage has already been obtained.

If Scopus coverage is officially confirmed in the future, this page will be updated to reflect the verified status accurately.

Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)

DHTA will describe itself as included in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) only after formal acceptance and verification through an official DOAJ journal record.

Preparation for a DOAJ application, submission of an application, or evaluation in progress will not be described as confirmed DOAJ inclusion.

Any future verified DOAJ status will be reported accurately and transparently on this page.

Web of Science

DHTA will claim coverage in the Web of Science Core Collection or another Clarivate index only after such coverage has been formally confirmed through an authoritative Clarivate source.

Application, eligibility assessment, or evaluation in progress will remain clearly distinguished from confirmed indexing.

If coverage is confirmed in the future, the exact index and verified status will be stated accurately.

Academic Discoverability

DHTA seeks to improve the discoverability of its publications through accurate journal-level and article-level metadata.

Indexing and Editorial Independence

The indexing status of DHTA does not influence the editorial assessment of individual manuscripts.

Editorial decisions are based on scholarly considerations including:

Relevance to the journal's aims and scope.
Originality.
Scholarly contribution.
Methodological appropriateness.
Reliability of evidence.
Quality and clarity of reporting.
Ethical compliance.
Research integrity.
Overall scientific or scholarly merit.

Publication of an article does not guarantee that the article will be indexed, harvested, cited, or displayed by any particular third-party database, repository, search engine, or academic discovery service.

Indexing Claims by Authors

Authors should verify DHTA's current indexing status through the official source maintained by the relevant indexing organization before describing their publications in:

Curriculum vitae.
Academic promotion documents.
Institutional reports.
Funding applications.
Research profiles.
Regulatory submissions.
Academic evaluation documents.
Other formal professional records.

Appearance of an article in:

A general web search.
Institutional repository.
Academic social network.
Research profile.
Citation website.
Third-party directory.

should not automatically be interpreted as formal journal-level indexing.

Where publication in a specific database is required by an institution, employer, funder, regulatory body, or academic authority, authors should verify the journal directly through the official source list of that indexing organization.

Third-Party Indexing Information

DHTA is not responsible for inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated indexing claims independently published by:

Third-party websites.
Academic profiles.
Social-media pages.
External directories.
Institutional pages.
Other organizations.

For formal academic, institutional, regulatory, funding, or professional purposes, users should verify journal coverage directly through the authoritative indexing or abstracting database concerned.

Updates to Indexing Information

Indexing and abstracting status may change over time.

DHTA will periodically review this page and may:

Add newly verified indexing services.
Update confirmed coverage information.
Correct inaccurate descriptions.
Remove outdated claims.
Update authoritative record links.
Revise information where database coverage changes.

Material changes to indexing claims should be made only where sufficient verifiable evidence is available.

Future Indexing Development

DHTA may seek evaluation by recognized scholarly indexing, abstracting, directory, bibliographic, and discovery services as the journal continues to strengthen:

Publication history.
Editorial governance.
Peer-review practices.
Publication regularity.
International participation.
Scholarly contribution.
Citation visibility.
Research quality.
Metadata quality.
Technical publishing infrastructure.

Each indexing organization applies its own selection criteria and evaluation procedures.

Submission for evaluation does not guarantee acceptance, indexing, continued coverage, or future inclusion.

No Guarantee of Future Indexing

DHTA may pursue inclusion in reputable scholarly databases and directories; however, the journal does not guarantee future acceptance by Scopus, DOAJ, Web of Science, or any other indexing or abstracting service.

Decisions regarding evaluation, selection, continuation of coverage, suspension, or discontinuation remain with the respective external indexing organization.

Accurate metadata.
Transparent journal information.
Responsible editorial practices.
Independent peer review.
Monthly publication.
