From the Editor's Desk

Abstract

Over the years some authors have asked about whether the JSS was indexed as this would influence their decision to publish in our journal. Unfortunately, the answer was no. We looked into the subject of indexing, but could not muster the resources to make much progress, until now. Stephen Thomas, one of our associate editors, has recently done an excellent job on the indexing issue. The JSS has now been indexed by a number of providers: Google Scholar, Crossref, ROAD, SafetyLit, BASE, Internet Archive Scholar, Dimensions, Unpaywall, UlrichsWeb, OCLC Worldcat and Fatcat. This should increase the visibility of the JSS to a wide audience. We anticipate that this will increase academic interest which will result in more submissions and possibly more membership for the ISSS.
