In short

Journal of Applied Research - on the VAK list (category K3), not in RINTs, not in Scopus or Web of Science (per the eLIBRARY.RU card, Sep 25, 2026).

More in the scholarly-articles (authorship) criterion and in what VAK journals mean to USCIS. An article about you, not by you, is a different criterion: published material about you.
