Terms and Conditions

You are submitting a request to for evaluation of Scientific Indexing Services (SIS).  Your request will be processed by our review team and you will receive a positive or negative reply and grant the right to process the data about journals to SIS.

SIS is designed to contribute to a better use of scientific information. In view of maintaining a certain level of focus and coherence as well as to ensure the respect of the rights of other users and third parties, SIS members should strictly abide by the following publication guidelines. Any material that is considered as not compatible with these guidelines can be partly or entirely removed by SIS without prior notice. Material is here to be understood as material including, without limitation, text, video, graphics and sound material, published on our website.

Accepting the respect of these guidelines is mandatory to be a member of SIS. In any event, the members (individuals or legal entities) publishing material on SIS transmitting material via its communication tools accept, to the extent permitted at law, the full responsibility of any direct or indirect subsequent prejudice or legal consequences (e.g. violation of someone’s intellectual, property or human rights). Although we take no responsibility, it will however, as described below, undertake efforts to minimize the existence of inappropriate material on SIS. In cases of unambiguously proven violation of someone’s rights, the Commission will take the necessary measure to remove, with the shortest possible delay, the material from the site.

 Guidelines

1. The members of SIS should only publish or transmit material that is unambiguously relevant to the SIS objective;

2. The material published or transmitted must not be illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, libelous, vulgar, obscene, threatening for the private lives of other people, hateful, racist or objectionable in any other way;

On the basis of the above guidelines, we reserve the right not to publish certain material or, as mentioned earlier, to remove them partially or entirely.
