Conflict of Interest

Hello, JABOA. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

• • Also, your username is probably in violation of the wp:Username policy because it appears to represent the journal, not an individual. Usernames that are company or product names are considered promotional. Follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Changing_username, in particular see the fourth point under "Alternatives to consider."

Rejection of draft

You replied to my rejection of your draft, but left the reply as comments in the page so they do not show. I will reply here, and you should reply to me here.

• Point1: "The journal is indexed by a third-party indexing service, namely the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ.org) and BASE (https://www.base-search.net/about/en/)" - That is good, but those are not enough to establish notability. This does show that the journal is an OA journal that has passed the DOAJ requirements. However, DOAJ has over 11,000 journals listed. Being one of those is not a sign of academic notability.
• Point2: "furthermore the publisher's copyright policies and self-archiving are deposite by a third-party called SHERPA/RoMEO (http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/search.php?issn=2405-710X)" Not a criterion. Any journal can deposit their policies there - it is an open database of policies that attempts to cover all journals, so this does not make any one journal being listed notable.
• Point3: "the journal applied for indexing by other third-party indexing services like EBSCO and Masterlist of Thomson-Reuters, but they are still under application review" - We definitely do not deal in future possibilities here, only in things that have already happened, and that have been documented in independent third-party sources.

The criteria at wp:NJournals are:

• The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area.
• The journal is frequently cited by other reliable sources.
• The journal has an historic purpose or a significant history.

Essentially, we are looking for an academic reputation. This is why a very new journal probably does not qualify because it takes time to build up. It would be good to let this journal develop a reputation before creating a WP article. I would consider such a new OA journal to be promising but not yet proven.

My last comment has to do with your username, as I posted above, and your potential conflict of interest. You must change your username before making further edits to the article as it violates the username policy. In addition, you must state your relationship to the journal if you have one. Note that with a conflict of interest you may continue to edit the article as a draft, but if it is accepted you are no longer to make direct edits to it in the main article space. The COI guidelines linked above will explain what you will need to do. LaMona (talk) 00:27, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
