Abstract. Indexing is considered a means of assessing the quality and impact of scientific publications. Each information system defines its selection policy with the appropriate rules, procedures and controls to ensure that the sources included in it meet the standards for scientific publishing. This article examines the criteria for indexing scientific journals in Index Copernicus and compares them with the indexing procedures of Scopus and Web of Science databases, with a focus on Bulgarian journals included in the Polish scientometric platform. Data related to the proper identification of journals, their editorial policies, open access publish, indexing in academic research databases, and impact indicators are analyzed. The study found similarities in the indexing criteria of Index Copernicus and reputable databases Scopus и Web of Science, but differences are observed regarding the transparency and control of their application.
