JPAE prioritizes structured metadata and DOI registration so ecology research is discoverable across scholarly platforms. Indexing helps findings reach scientists, conservationists, and policy teams who rely on validated evidence.

Our production workflow includes metadata validation and citation checks to improve discoverability and long term accuracy.

JPAE maintains core identifiers and metadata services that support reliable citation, cataloging, and discovery across platforms.

• ISSN registration for consistent journal identification
• DOI assignment and metadata registration via Crossref
• Google Scholar discoverability subject to inclusion and crawling guidelines

• Accurate author names, affiliations, and ORCID identifiers
• Funding sources, grant numbers, and conflict disclosures
• Structured abstracts with clear objectives and results
• Ecology keywords and habitat classifications
• Complete references with DOIs where available

JPAE is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing in plant and animal ecology. We emphasize reproducible field methods, clear reporting of ecological context, and ethical compliance across all article types.

The editorial office supports authors, editors, and reviewers with clear guidance and responsive communication. For questions about scope or workflow, contact [email protected].

We encourage continuous improvement in reporting practices and share updates that help the community maintain high standards in ecological research and conservation science.
