Swiss Society of Economics and Statistics

Hi @Randykitty,

I am reaching out to seek your advice on enhancing Draft:Swiss Society of Economics and Statistics. The draft has been declined twice due to concerns about meeting the notability criteria. This is a Swiss learned society which established the Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics.

I would appreciate your insights and suggestions on how to improve the draft to better align with the notability guidelines. So that it can be resubmitted for review by the moderators.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Best,

Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics - Impact Factor

Dear @Randykitty,

I have just noticed that you deleted the SJES' impact factor as "journal is not in any Clarivate database, hence has no IF" . The statement needs clarification. The impact factor most commonly referenced as the "official" one is indeed provided by the Web of Science, specifically through Journal Citation Reports (JCR). Scopus, on the other hand, provides a similar metric called the CiteScore. While both metrics assess journal impact, they are derived from different databases and methodologies. Therefore, the impact factor from Web of Science is widely recognized as the official impact factor, whereas Scopus offers its own valid and official but different metric.

Please let me know if I can undo the deletion of IF.

Thank you in advance.

Best,

There is only one impact factor. The CiteScore is something different. RK's edit is correct. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 21:08, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics - Cleanup tag

Dear @Randykitty,

I noticed you added a Cleanup tag on the SJES Wikipedia page. Could you clarify what specifically needs to be deleted or cleaned up? Are you referring to the quotes and their English translations? Wikipedia guidelines for English articles require valid and in-depth sources. Most of the secondary sources are in German and French and have dozens of pages. It took me a lot of time to find and translate these citations, and I worry that readers won't easily find the specific information about the years of editorship if we remove them.

Please let me know how I can meet your cleanup requirements. It's a bit discouraging since I put in a lot of effort to find and translate all these citations. Also, I'm not very experienced with the Source Editor, which requires some foundational coding knowledge and increases the risk of errors on my part.

Could you help me find a gentle solution to this?

Thanks!

Best,

KMerrigold

Hybrid

Do we really need to put this in the infobox here? Pretty much every journals offers a 'sure you can pay us extra money if you want' option. In the case of a subscription journal, hybrid mentions they're not completely closed, you can sell a baby to have a paper opened. In the case of a delayed open access journals, you can pay to jump ahead of the queue by 6-12 months (usually). Is that really infobox worthy here?

You're not wrong about that, hybrid is everywhere nowadays. Still, by not listing it, it would appear to the uninformed reader (hoping to become informed by reading WP :-) that the only option here is delayed OA after a year. So I'd say yes, this is infobox worthy. --Randykitty (talk) 17:03, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
