Contemporary Science Association

Contemporary Science Association is a research and development unit within AAP/ASRC (Advancement of Scholarly Research Center), New York. CSA features links, descriptions and other information for thousands of academic journals in all disciplines, collates information from a variety of sources to conveniently provide access to the latest scholarly research, and is devoted to the advancement of electronic scholarly communication.

CSA web site offers searchable databases of journals. Advanced information technology necessarily improves the effectiveness of scientific and scholarly research. CSA editors performing journal evaluations have educational backgrounds relevant to their areas of responsibility as well as experience and education in information science. We operate a research platform that deploys information technology and tools to increase productivity and facilitate new forms of scholarship. If there are any journals that are not available in the databases that you would find useful, please feel free to send the name of the journal to office@contemporaryscienceassociation.net and we may be able to include it in a database.

CSA/AAP databases are premium online information resources for thousands of institutions worldwide, representing millions of end-users. Once a journal is launched and has a track record of timely publication and solid content, it is appropriate to contact indexing and abstracting services for consideration. Indexing and abstracting services facilitate the broadest dissemination of information by pointing researchers to papers that are relevant to the field. CSA/AAP uses a panel of indexers, subject experts and technical services managers to review all new journals that are candidates for indexing in our database. Candidates are evaluated for possible inclusion based on a variety of criteria which include subject, geographical scope, peer-review, productivity, and other factors.

The evaluation process consists of evaluation of many criteria: timeliness of publication, adherence to international editorial conventions, English language bibliographic information (English article titles, keywords, author abstracts, and cited references). The journal's editorial content and the international diversity of it authors and editors are examined.

CSA/AAP Review Committee usually recommends continuing to index those highly ranked titles that are currently indexed. Journal evaluation and selection is ongoing at CSA/AAP with journals added to and deleted from the databases as frequently as monthly. Each year, our editorial staff reviews over 1,000 journal titles, and selects around 10% of the journals evaluated for inclusion in our databases. Journals now covered are monitored to ensure that they are maintaining high standards and a clear relevance to the products in which they are covered. CSA/AAP Review Committee will index supplements to journals if the supplements contain indexable articles, come as part of the journal subscription, and retain the title and volume numbering of the journal

CSA/AAP welcomes suggestions and recommendations for coverage. Refining journal coverage in our database is an on-going process and we appreciate receiving recommendations from the scientific and scholarly communities. Every journal included in our databases has been evaluated according to the highest standards. This steady application of quality has enabled the continuous development of our databases, whose primary purpose is to provide comprehensive coverage of the world's most important scholarly journals. CSA/AAP remains committed to bringing the users of its products the most important and influential scholarly information in a timely manner.

Contemporary Science Association continues to be expanded on a regular basis and now lists more than 14,500 journals from different publishers. AAP/ASRC (Advancement of Scholarly Research Center), New York, is associated with scholars (editors, peer-reviewers and/or contributors) from
