About S.I.S
Scholar Indexing Society is a global platform that helps institutions and researchers advance open science and improve its performance for the benefit of humanity. It is an initiative for open-access indexing and knowledge abstraction databases. The society is a globally recognized forum for promoting research work and knowledge sharing through a curated online compendium database.
Scholar Indexing Society uses a carefully selected group of distinguished librarians, professors, and people from academic and non-academic fields to help review and make decisions about the council's day-to-day activities.
In 2020, we founded Scholar Indexing Society to address issues we noticed in the way science is industrialized and disseminated. Our objective is to link the scientific world and make research accessible to everybody. All research articles indexed on S.I.S are freely accessible on the platform.
Our Mission
Scholar Indexing Society's mission is to promote knowledge by sharing to upsurge the openness, accessibility, reputation, usage, and impact of quality scholarly research.
