More to come on the indexing processes soon Three years have passed since Romanian Journal of Ophthalmology has changed its name from Oftalmologia and begun being published in English. At that time, the aim was to obtain a better visibility and quotation, which has been partly achieved. Starting 2017, a contract has been signed with The National Library of Medicine (NLM), thus, all the articles up to date have been indexed in PMC and PubMed. PubMed Central (PMC) is a free digital repository that archives publicly accessible full-text scholarly articles that have been published within the biomedical and life sciences journal literature (source: https:// en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ PubMed_Central). PubMed is a free search engine accessing primarily the MEDLINE database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics (source: https:// en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ PubMed). In other words, we managed to fulfill our desideratum of making our journal popular and increase its visibility. Of course, this change has brought more value to our journal, now being indexed in an international database. In addition, we welcome scientists, academic personalities, etc., from Romania and the whole world to send their articles to be published in Romanian Journal of Ophthalmology. The process of indexing was a lengthy one, starting with the indexing of the abstracts of the articles in MEDLINE, continuing with the conversion of all the articles in a specific format (XML) and their uploading on PMC platform and in PubMed database. Regarding process of indexing, MEDLINE indexers describe the content of biomedical articles by assigning subject terms to them. These subject terms are selected from the controlled vocabulary, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). The MeSH terms assigned to an article appear on the bibliographic citation in PUBMED. They can be used in PUBMED searches and retrieval (source: https:// www.nlm.nih.gov/ bsd/ indexing/ training/ INT_010.html). The MeSH controlled vocabulary, developed at NLM (National Library of Medicine), contains over 27,000 terms covering life sciences, medicine, as well as many other areas. MeSH vocabulary reflects the progress in biomedical sciences. Every year, several hundred new terms are added to the MeSH vocabulary, and some existing terms are modified. In addition to the MeSH descriptors, MEDLINE indexers also use 79 topical subheadings or qualifiers (source: https: // www.nlm.nih.gov/ bsd/indexing/ training/ INT_010.html). For the full participation in PMC, which is a full text archive, a journal must meet the scientific quality standards established by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Library of Medicine. The members of the latter will decide if the scientific and editorial scope and quality of a journal merit its inclusion in PMC. Moreover, the opinions of expert consultants will also count in the final evaluation of the journal (source: https:// onlinelibrary.wiley.com/ doi/ pdf/ 10.1002/ rth2.12047). The journal must also meet the technical standards of the database by providing high-quality digital
