1. Indexing, Rankings and Accreditation
Indexing claims for LaKaspia: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat are limited to services supported by a verifiable profile or official title list for this journal. A similar journal name is not evidence of coverage. A status statement describes verified coverage at editorial approval; it is not a guarantee that every article or every publication year is included.
An application under evaluation must be described as pending, not as accepted indexing. If coverage changes, the editor updates the public statement and retains enough detail to explain historical coverage. Indexing decisions belong to the service provider. The journal must not promise acceptance, a ranking or uninterrupted coverage as a condition of submission or payment.
Coverage is established by the external service’s official journal profile or title list. Contact the editorial office for the relevant evidence; submission or payment does not guarantee indexing.
2. Bibliographic Databases and Journal Directories
Selective indexes, library catalogues, search engines, repositories and identifier registration services serve different purposes. A DOI deposit or appearance in a search result is not evidence of admission to a selective index. Services are identified by their actual function; registration, discovery and selective indexing are not presented as equivalent forms of accreditation.
3. Academic Discovery and Article Coverage
Accurate titles, author names, affiliations, dates, references and article links help services interpret the published record. Authors should report metadata errors through the editorial office. Corrections made in OJS do not necessarily appear immediately in external databases; refresh schedules and inclusion decisions belong to the service provider. Technical metadata preparation does not guarantee search-engine or scholarly-index inclusion.
When reporting missing or incorrect coverage, supply the article URL or DOI, the service name and the date checked. The editorial office can verify its own metadata and published claim, and contact the provider when appropriate. Readers should distinguish a missing search result from evidence that the journal’s entire coverage has ended.
4. Verification and Repository Records
Use the service’s official journal profile or title list and compare the title, ISSN, publisher and coverage dates. A journal logo on this website is not independent evidence. If a profile link is missing, broken or inconsistent with the claim, ask the editorial office for clarification. A source may cover only selected years or content types.
A repository deposit can provide another access point to an article without demonstrating journal-wide indexing. Check the named service, title, ISSN and coverage dates. Only confirmed journal profiles are evidence of the specific coverage they describe.
