There are many different databases, that provide citation metrics, based on the number of citations in the documents, however the most important for all the researchers are three major sources of bibliometric content - Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. But, of course, there are other important databases as ProQuest, EBSCO (Academic Search Complete), Crossref and RSCI (RINC), where you could find your citations and other details. More information regarding the way of measurements and impact factor calculation you could read here.
- To prepare all the Proceedings in the needed formats, incl. BibTex and XML formats, article metadata and PDF versions;
- To generate, register and activate DOI for each paper;
- To send the Conference proceedings and all required additional files for indexations to the scientific databases for evaluation and indexation.
The timeline - between 2 and 4 months after the events, depending of the number of the accepted papers. However, how quickly the Conference proceedings will be available in the scientific databases is up to every database. There are providers with 2 -3 months process, there are others with an evaluation process between one and two years. Everything depends on the scientific database and the number of accepted after the peer review process papers. Have in mind, that we couldn’t speed the process of indexations.
Every year, in the post-conference period, the SGEM Conference Proceedings are sent for indexation in the most important citation and abstracting databases:

Web of Science - CLARIVATE ANALITYCS (former Thomson Reuters)
Multidisciplinary database for abstracts and citations, the oldest and the most frequently used, Web of Science (WoS)is a combination of six scientific databases. Here you could find an unrivalled breadth of world-class research literature linked to a rigorously selected core of journals and proceedings and citation connections.
The WoS database, where we send for evaluation and indexation the papers - Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) provides access to worldwide Conference Proceedings and their impact on global research, including cited reference searching to track the emerging ideas and the new research beyond what is covered in the scientific journals.
All GeoConference Proceedings since 2008: 7849 papers in total, are evaluated and indexed in the most important CPCI WoS database. Paper from 2017 and 2018 years is in the process of evaluation and indexation.
