Cakrawala Wawasan Kebangsaan recognizes the importance of journal metrics as indicators of scientific performance and impact. While the journal is currently in a phase of development and quality improvement, the editorial team is fully committed to continuously striving for recognition and indexing in reputable databases that provide such metrics. Metrics like citation count, h-index, and impact factor reflect how frequently the journal's articles are cited by other researchers, indicating their relevance and influence within the scientific community. Improving these metrics is one of Cakrawala Wawasan Kebangsaan's primary long-term goals.
Currently, the journal actively monitors metrics available through Google Scholar Citations, which provides an initial overview of the number of citations received by published articles.

Efforts to meet these indexing criteria include maintaining editorial quality, improving the peer review process, and ensuring publication consistency.
This commitment to improving journal metrics is not just about numbers; it's about enhancing research quality and broadening the reach of national insight. By striving for better metrics, Cakrawala Wawasan Kebangsaan hopes to attract more high-quality authors and reach a wider audience, thereby contributing more significantly to the field of study. Transparency regarding existing metrics and efforts to achieve higher ones is part of the journal's dedication to becoming a leading and influential scholarly publication.
