Indexing

What is trust?

Trust is ANA's verdict on whether a conference is a real scientific event rather than a fee-collecting mill. It says nothing about prestige or promotion points; those are shown separately.

Established	9–10	Major society or long-running conference. Indexing and committee verified.
Trusted	7–8	Legitimate. Long history and real committee; small gaps, e.g. next year's fees not out yet.
Plausible	5–6	Probably legitimate, but key claims (indexing, review, committee) are only partly verified.
Doubtful	3–4	Several checks failed or couldn't be verified. Check it yourself before submitting.
Avoid	1–2	Matches a known conference mill or has serious red flags.

How it's scored: every conference starts at 3. Points are added for a listed committee, an international committee, 3+ past editions, a domain and archive several years old, and a university or society organiser. Points are taken off for vague indexing ("major databases"), an indexing claim that turns out false, review faster than 7 days, a brand-new domain, missing committees, or many unrelated conferences on one site. A known conference mill is capped at 2.

Quality is a separate 1–5 score for whether it's worth presenting there: the conference's tier (flagship, mid, regional), verified WoS/Scopus indexing, double-blind review, a reputable organiser and an international committee. A small regional conference can be fully trusted and still Modest.

Top	5/5	Flagship conference: verified indexing or a major society, rigorous review.
High	4/5	Strong international conference with solid review and a reputable host.
Mid	3/5	Good conference, but indexing or review rigour only partly verified.
Modest	2/5	Real but small or regional, little verified indexing. Fine for networking and a2/a3 points.
Low	1/5	Real, but little evidence of selectivity or reach.
