Proposed deletion of Modernist Cultures

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Status and Advice

edit

Some of your new journals are notable, but one that is not yet published cannot possibly be. I'd like to help you do this right, and so would my colleague abocve--we both work extensively with this sort of article. but you should be more careful about not trying to put in articles that will not hold, following our username policy, and giving the necessary information: Based on what is generally accepted here, an article about a journal should also contain:

  1. Fulll titles, earlier titles used, and the corresponding dates. Make cross references from any variant titles.
  2. Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
  3. publishing & sponsoring body, as well as earlier publishers & sponsors
  4. availability on line
  5. no. of articles published a year
  6. ISSNs for both print and online versions
  7. Online availability of current and earlier issues
  8. Open access availability, if relevant.
  9. Circulation (sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs)
  10. coverage in major standard indexes, inclding particularly Scopus and Web of Science (Science Citation Index) if covered--even some humanities titles are
  11. latest year's impact factor if available, and rank in the JCR subject field(s). Include the year so it can be updated.
  12. any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
  13. a list of the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science
  14. External links to the journal's main web site, and , if relevant, the main website of the sponsoring body.

It should not contain

  1. General information listing all the fields covered, unless it is not obvious from the title
  2. Statements of praise for the journal -- see WP:PEACOCK
  3. A list of those on the editorial board
  4. names of the staff, except editors in chief; subordinate or section editors should not usually be listed.
  5. Information about subscription prices
  6. Information about how to submit articles
  7. Links to the publisher's general website, or to subpages within the journal's site.
  8. and, most important, it must contain no text from the web page description of the journal. That is a copyright violation, and needs to be rewritten. Even if you are prepared to donate copyright according to WP:DCM, it is likely to be unsuitably promotional.

Please read our FAQ about organisations, and articles like this, and for more specific information our Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. As it specifies there, the best way to start is by using the infobox journal template; but also convert the information there to prose. I'll be g;ad to help, if you contact me at my talk page.
