November 2017: Gulf Journal of Mathematics (GJOM), founded at CUD in 2013 by Dr. Firuz Kamalov and Dr. Ho Hon Leung, Professors of Mathematics in the University has been invited to be recognized by the prestigious EBSCO, a leading producer and distributor of research databases for libraries and educational institutions worldwide. EBSCO databases are available in 90% of the world's public, college and university libraries. The inclusion in EBSCO databases is another big milestone for GJOM journal as it means that the publication will now widen their availability.
Speaking of the inclusion Dr. Firuz commented that such recognition truly enhances the research reputation of CUD.
Paige Larkin of EBSCO commented that GJOM’s inclusion will enhance EBSCO’s r resources, and that CUD will benefit from the increased visibility and usage of their research.
She added that titles in EBSCO databases are accessible at an article-level, most typically as the result of a keyword search, so a licensing agreement does not compromise CUD’s online audience, but rather provides us with an additional chance to promote readership worldwide. A link to CUD’s site with every article is included.
GJOM is a quarterly journal that has published 17 issues since its inception including 2 conference proceedings. It is indexed in the databases of American Mathematical Society and European Mathematical Society.
Following on this success, GJOM has been encouraged by SCOPUS, the largest abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature, scientific journals, books and conference proceedings to apply for inclusion in their database. This application will be completed and submitted by September 2018.
