Q: Will my paper be indexed in SCIE if the journal is upgraded from the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) to the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE)?
Detailed Question -
I submitted my manuscript to a journal with an impact factor of 7.9 and a Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) of 2.14. However, the journal is currently indexed in Scopus, the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI), SCImago Journal Rank (SJR), and SNIP, but not yet in the Science Citation Index (SCI). If my paper is published before the journal is promoted to SCI, will it later be indexed in SCI once the journal is upgraded?
