ESCI Journals Added to Web of Science (July 2026): 29 New Titles with ISSN
Latest Web of Science Update: Why These ESCI Journals Matter Right Now
The July 2026 update to the Web of Science Core Collection has introduced 29 newly indexed ESCI journals. For researchers, this is not just another update—it represents a time-sensitive opportunity.
Newly indexed journals are in their early growth phase. They are actively increasing publication volume, editorial turnaround is faster, and competition is significantly lower compared to established journals. This window typically narrows within 12–18 months as submission volume increases.
This is the part most researchers overlook: a newly ESCI-listed journal is often the fastest entry point into the Web of Science ecosystem—if your manuscript is positioned correctly.

Below is the verified list of journals added to the Web of Science ESCI index (July 2026 update). Each journal includes ISSN and publisher details.

Before You Submit: Important Things You Must Know About ESCI
Is ESCI Good Enough for Your PhD or UGC Submission?
ESCI (Emerging Sources Citation Index) is part of the Web of Science Core Collection. It is widely accepted for coursework, PhD submissions, and academic requirements in many institutions.
However, there are important conditions:
- ESCI journals do not have an Impact Factor initially
- Impact Factor is assigned only after promotion to SCIE or SSCI
- Some universities require SCIE/SSCI indexed journals
Always review your institutional guidelines before submitting.
Why Timing Matters for ESCI Journals
Submitting to newly indexed journals offers:
- Lower competition
- Faster review timelines
- Higher acceptance flexibility
This advantage decreases as the journal becomes established.
Why Most of the Submissions to Such Journals Get Desk Rejected
Based on our observation of the submitted papers each month, desk rejections happen at five points, and all of them are fixable prior to the submission:
- Mismatching scope — the paper is good but the wrong journal.
- AI contribution not mentioned — 2026 portals inquire about it. Using AI in writing without declaring it is a desk rejection.
- Poor positioning in literature — the gap is claimed without proof.
- Failure in formatting and reporting standards — citation style, ethics statement, availability of data.
- Unexpected similarity indices — found out after submission, not prior to submission.
All five of these can be handled through manuscript writing, literature review writing, proofreading & editing, and plagiarism checking services .
