It is indexed in Scopus, ASEAN Citation Index (ACI), and the Clarivate Analytics Master Journal List (formerly a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters, including ISI-Web of Science) under Zoological Record, BIOSIS Previews, and Biological Abstracts. Additionally, the PJSB is a recognized journal of the Philippine Commission on Higher Education (CHED) under CHED CMO 50 series of 2017.
