INTERNATIONAL ACADEMIC DATABASES

To be recognized as an authoritative, high-quality source of information, a journal must be widely available. Indexing and abstracting services facilitate the broadest dissemination of information by pointing researchers to articles that are relevant to the field. Once a journal is launched and has a track record of timely publication and solid content, it is appropriate to contact indexing and abstracting services for consideration (Sparc, 2012). The SBS-JABR Journal is actually in the process of indexation at IDEAS REPEC and ECON PAPERS databases.

IDEAS REPEC

Ideas Repec is the largest bibliographic database dedicated to Economics and available freely on the Internet. Over 1,200,000 items of research can be browsed or searched, and over 1,000,000 can be downloaded in full text!
