How do I learn the steps that need to be taken to ensure that a particular title is indexed?
Usually, neither the staff nor the LSTRC members are in a position to provide guidance about the steps an editor or publisher should take to ensure that a specific title will be indexed in MEDLINE. The staff can explain the process but has no input into nor influence over the LSTRC recommendation. The Committee does prepare a summary sheet which is available upon request following notification, but this is designed to document the Committee’s recommendation and not the improvements that should be made to ensure indexing. It would be difficult to prepare such suggestions since the LSTRC decisions, based on scientific quality and importance, are affected by the number and quality of journals already published in the field.
