Index Your Impact, Amplify Your Reach.
SCILEX evaluates each journal through a transparent, tiered process and records the outcome openly, so authors, readers, and institutions can trust what they see.
Too many directories count journals rather than vet them. SCILEX takes the opposite stance: a smaller, trusted registry where every listing has passed eligibility, quality scoring, and an integrity check against open data. A SCILEX record is a claim we stand behind, including the decision and rationale.
Each journal passes a three-stage review before it is listed, with its status and history visible to everyone.
Retraction history, citation patterns, and identity checks pulled from OpenAlex, Crossref, and the ISSN Portal.
Submit once and follow your journal from received to decision on a live progress tracker, with email updates at every stage.
The full evaluation rubric is public, covering mandatory requirements, quality points, and integrity signals, each with a clear purpose.
Three reviewers score every submission independently, with automatic recusal on any conflict of interest.
A rejected journal may appeal once within 30 days, reviewed by members who were not part of the original decision.
Create an account, choose your role, and submit your journal through the six-section form.
Eligibility screening, a 0–14 quality score, and an integrity check against open data.
Three independent reviewers and the committee reach a decision, archived with its rationale.
Follow progress in real time; if rejected, you may submit a single appeal within 30 days.
SCILEX operates under ACADEX, drawing on real scholarly-publishing experience in accounting, management, and economics. The result is an indexing standard authors and institutions can rely on.
