MLJIF Evaluation Methodology

Meta Life Journal Impact Factor (MLJIF) operates under a structured 100-Point Multidimensional Journal Health & Transparency Model.

1. Core Evaluation Framework (100-Point Model)

Evaluation Parameter	Maximum Points
Research Quality	25
Editorial Transparency	20
Ethical Standards	20
Publication Stability	15
Open Access & Visibility	20
Total Maximum Score	100

2. Open Access & Visibility (20 Points Breakdown)

Sub-Parameter	Points
Publication Continuity (Last 2 Years)	5
Website Visibility & Traffic	5
Article Engagement (Views & Downloads)	5
DOI & Digital Accessibility	5
Total Open Access Score	20

3. Mathematical Scoring Formula

Composite Score (C)

C = RQ + ET + ES + PS + OA

Where:
RQ = Research Quality (Max 25)
ET = Editorial Transparency (Max 20)
ES = Ethical Standards (Max 20)
PS = Publication Stability (Max 15)
OA = Open Access & Visibility (Max 20)

MLJIF Impact Score (I)

I = C / 10

Since Maximum Composite Score = 100

4. Grade Classification

Impact Score	Grade
8.5 – 10	A+
7.0 – 8.49	A
5.5 – 6.99	B
4.0 – 5.49	C
Below 4.0	D

5. Data Verification & Evidence Policy

Open Access and visibility metrics are evaluated based on:

Declared publisher data
Publicly accessible archives
DOI verification
Website accessibility checks
Submitted documentary evidence

MLJIF reserves the right to verify declared data through publicly available records.

6. Annual Re-Evaluation Policy

MLJIF evaluation is valid for one calendar year.
Re-evaluation is required for score renewal.
Impact Score may increase or decrease annually.
Certificates are issued with a unique verification ID.

7. Metric Positioning Statement

MLJIF is an independent multidimensional Journal Health & Transparency Index.

It is not a citation-based impact factor and is not affiliated with Clarivate Analytics, Scopus, or Web of Science.

MLJIF focuses on structural quality, editorial ethics, publication continuity, and open access transparency.
