2. Reports are issued only for publications formally indexed by databases such as SCI (online edition) and EI (online edition). We do not issue statements for items that have not been indexed.

3. You must upload a PDF of the article. To prevent upload failures, rename the file using digits only (e.g., 123.pdf) while keeping the PDF format. If the upload still fails, convert the article to image format and upload.
