I. INDEXING VERIFICATION POLICY
NUSALEGIS is committed to accurately representing its indexing status. An indexing or abstracting service will only be presented as an active index after the Editorial Team has verified that the journal or its published content has been formally included, harvested, or made discoverable through that service. The journal avoids using the names or logos of indexing services in a manner that could create a misleading impression concerning its indexing status.
