Alif Index: The Integrity-Led Indexing Database for Journals, Articles, & People

ALIF Index is a free, tiered journal evaluation system that verifies integrity and guides journals from basic compliance (Pre-Index) to advanced recognition (L1, L2, L3).

Alif Index

Your Journal's Path from Compliance to Excellence

ALIF Index is a next-generation, integrity-led journal evaluation, classification, and citation database system. Unlike traditional indexing services that operate on an "in or out" model, ALIF Index provides a progressive pathway for journals: starting with Pre-Index (minimum compliance gateway), then advancing through L1 (Emerging), L2 (Established), and L3 (Excellence) tiers — each with separate evaluation criteria.

All evaluations are completely free, with detailed feedback and mentorship at every stage. Journals that achieve at least Pre-Index status become eligible for SEIPID persistent identifiers (available through affordable plans).

ALIF Index is governed by Xpertno Research Center (XRC) and built for the global research community — transparent, inclusive, and trust-driven.
