Indexing and Discovery
This page sets out how the Journal of Hereditary Diseases makes its articles available to readers and scholarly search services, how individual manuscripts may be deposited in PubMed Central, and how the published record is preserved.
Access and metadata
Every JHD article is free to read and download on the journal website, without subscription or registration, and carries bibliographic metadata on its article page. Authors retain copyright, and articles are published under CC BY 4.0.
Scholarly search and discovery services build their records from openly available article pages and metadata, on their own collection schedules.
Verified journal-level records
Journal-level records, such as identifiers, selective indexing services and DOI registration, are listed on this page once each has been confirmed.
Records on this page are listed as of October 2026.
Article deposits
PubMed Central deposits
Eligible NIH-funded manuscripts may be deposited individually in PubMed Central through the NIH Manuscript Submission System (NIHMS).
Deposit of an individual manuscript is separate from journal-level indexing.
Preservation
JHD articles will be deposited in Portico, a not-for-profit digital-preservation archive run by ITHAKA (the organization behind JSTOR). Once deposited, articles enter Portico’s permanent archive, so the scholarly record stays available for the long term, even if a title one day ceases to publish.
