How do you show whether a paper is indexed in Scopus or Web of Science on a resume? University HR forms ask the question for every paper, and researchers have answered it from memory, one line at a time. Axe Builder, our resume builder for researchers, turns an ORCID iD into an academic resume with citations, h-index, journal quartiles and Crossref data already in place. Since 9 July 2026, it derives the answer from the data it already holds: where a journal’s quartile or impact factor is on record, the indexing labels fill themselves in.
A quartile exists only for an indexed journal, so the inference is safe by construction, and each label stays editable for the cases where an author knows better than the data.
Why Malaysian and Asian universities ask
They ask because their job requirements are written in indexed output. A Taylor’s University professorial job description, for instance, counts publications in Q1 and Q2 journals “(ISI, SCOPUS, Clarivate)” over five years. A hiring panel reads a resume that shows the index beside each paper in minutes, and it reads one that leaves the lookup to the panel later, if at all.
