You need to apply to the NIH committee, the Literature
Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC) that reviews editors’
applications. You will find information in the FAQ: Journal Selection for
MEDLINE® Indexing at NLM http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/faq.html
(on this site you can also find the link to the application). They review new
titles 3 times a year and about 20% - 25% of the titles reviewed are selected
for indexing.
