Athena Transactions in Health and Medical Sciences is a new series which has not published its first volume yet. The series has therefore not been submitted for indexation in any databases as of now. Any future applications awaiting acceptance will be listed here once they have been submitted. Please return later for updates.

Note that individual proceedings within this series are always submitted for indexation in CPCI (Conference Proceedings Citation Index; part of Clarivate's Web of Science), CNKI, Wanfang Data and Google Scholar. Where applicable, they are also submitted to subject-specific indexes such as Ei Compendex and others. For more information on the indexation status of a specific proceedings in this series, please contact the conference organizer(s) - see the individual proceedings homepage for details - as we are not able to respond to messages received directly from participants.

Athena International Publishing is committed to the permanent availability and preservation of scholarly research and to ensure accessibility to this research by converting and upgrading digital file formats to comply with new technology standards. The following digital archiving solutions are currently in place for Athena Transactions in Health and Medical Sciences :

• Athena International Publishing maintains its own proprietary digital archive in which we store a complete, accurate, digital version of all the content on the Athena platform. The current format standards are XML and PDF, with most files being retained in both formats. All volumes of Athena Transactions in Health and Medical Sciences are retained in this archive.

• We collaborate with the National Library of the Netherlands which permanently archives all content on the Athena platform in their e-Depot. All volumes of Athena Transactions in Health and Medical Sciences are uploaded to this e-Depot after publication to guarantee permanent preservation of the articles. Note that the e-Depot is available through on-site access at the National Library of the Netherlands and if Athena would be unable to provide access to content on its own platform (temporarily, in an emergency or permanently) access to the e-Depot can be provided to the global public on request.
