International Journal Address (IJA)

International Journal Address (IJA) is a permanent address assigned to an online journal. IJA is a modern fixed international journal address and auto-detects any possible changes in the online journal address and auto-adjusts itself to the journal new address, or only loads journal basic version and its abstracted articles if the journal went offline or removed, extending the journal and articles life time.

IJA solves old common problems of online journals with the following advantages:

Accessing Journal by IJA:

An IJA is a permanent address to an specific journal (example: IJA.zone/23633624786), the journal directly can be accessed simply by typing the IJA address in an internet browser. As example, find associated journal to this IJA: IJA.zone/23633624786 by internet browser or use following IJA portal:

IJA Syntax Structure:

An IJA consisted of two parts, zone name separated by an slash from 11 digit IJA number: IJA.zone/11 digits. IJA is 22 length including zone name as following example: IJA.zone/23633624786:

According to the ADVANCED SCIENCES INDEX standard, journal holder should explicitly display IJA in the described format on online published articles. IJA cannot be any arbitrary number. It is self-verifiable number according to ASI-V3 algorithm. To check the validity of an IJA, an IJA validator portal is used.

History of Development of IJA:

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) invented in 1989 in Switzerland. Its drawback is that when URL of a journal website changes or goes offline, the reader cannot access the journal. The publisher should notify readers/authors about the new journal address. International journal Address (IJA) was introduced on 2014 by Advanced Science Index (ASI) in Germany as a permanent address of a journal fixed during its lifetime and after that by extending its lifetime. The IJA keeps a journal basic version and its article abstracts on a separate server. If the journal address is changed IJA servers auto-detect it and auto-adjust itself to the new address. The publisher does not need to notify a new journal address, as the author can still access the journal via the IJA address. In case the journal went offline IJA loads only the basic journal version and its abstract article temporarily allowing the reader to read and the author still submit paper to the journal.
