Category:Academic journals of Switzerland

@Headbomb You sure removing that cat is correct? I agree with the template parameters removal based on the parameter description, but I added the category after checking the current standard of others in Category:Academic journals by country and there are many where it's added to the country based on the "on behalf of ..." organisation.

I agree with Headbomb. International publisher => international journal. Those other categorizations mentioned are incorrect and should be changed rather than emulated. --Randykitty (talk) 07:46, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Category:Academic journals by country currently says This category is for academic journals by country (of publisher, of sponsor, etc.)., which would then be inaccurate by your description. And how is is for journals that, like this one, where it was published by a national publisher before it was transferred to a international one?Is ther a cat for that? Nobody (talk) 08:10, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No idea if there's a cat for that. We deleted all those categories a while back, I think, but they got recreated over time. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:58, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1AmNobody24 you aptly describe the problem in modern publishing: journals may be associated with or even owned by a national society, but then published by a publisher located elsewhere. For most publishers (the exception being mostly smaller university presses) it's very hard if not impossible to tie them to any particular country. Both huge publishers like Elsevier and smaller ones like Cambridge University Press have offices all over the world and any one of them may be handling a particular journal. Only extremely rarely will it be possible to know which one it is. These "by country" cats are pretty useless in my eyes. --Randykitty (talk) 15:23, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Randykitty I agree that the current "by country" cats don't seem that helpful, "by country of origin" would make more sense as "by country of publication" is mostly redundant due to the "by publisher" cats. Nobody (talk) 17:05, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Randykitty Seems like this was the last discussion about this issue. From your replies I get that you stil have the same opinion about it and I agree that the "by country" cats are redundant. If it was up to me, for articles like this one, I'd probably replace them with a subcat in "published in country" that says something like "formerly published in country" so you would still find all those with national ties to a specific country. But also not sure where a discussion for such a change would need to be held. I guess WT:AJ? Nobody (talk) 12:19, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
