JIDB Development Tactics and Strategic Directions to be a Journal Indexed in SCOPUS and SSCI

Purpose: The two (SCOPUS and SSCI) are the most reputed indexing databases in the world for social science area, and hence the most preferred by majority of researchers in filling the academia niche that may exist on any research topic This study aims to determine five key strategic tactics that the JIDB (Journal of Industrial Distribution & Business) can use to be indexed by SCOPUS and SSCI, following five main measures as discussed in main texts. Research design, data and methodology: The literature analysis which was selected by this study is appropriate to find out useful texts dataset and this analysis provides adequate evidence for previous literature collection. Results: From the current literature analysis, this study suggests five strategic tactics for JIDB to be a journal indexed in SCOPUS and SSCI. The five tactics are follows: (1) Understanding the Selection Process, (2) Content and Relevance, (3) Finding a Niche Technical Standards, (4) Clarity in Formatting and Structure, and (5) Citations and Publication Considerations. Conclusions: This study concludes that the five discussed tactics are all imperative in aiding the research and if JIDB follows all the select strategies, it will be bound to succeed for indexing in the two databases.
