Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/List of missing journals/header

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

List of missing journals, by subpage: Header, A-C, D-I, J-M, N-Z, DOAJ, Queue.

Below is a list of academic journals about which Wikipedia does not yet have articles. Please note: articles on academic journals should only be created (even if they are listed here) if they meet WP:NJournals and/or WP:GNG.

About this list

[edit]

This list grew out of a discussion where it was felt that an important aid to making sure all Wikipedia content is accurate and verifiable, is to have more information on the various sources used to compile articles. The list is drawn from the subscription lists of a couple of major university libraries. While some of the journals are obscure, having articles on them would be valuable. In general, the home pages for these journals can be readily found in search sites, and these pages will give the basic information. They are listed in the standard scientific and other scholarly indexes; however, a search will very rarely turn up much additional information.

This list also still needs a fair bit of clean up.

What to do

[edit]
  • Watch the names. Some entries are named Name/English Name or Name (Abbreviated name). Simply clicking on the red-link to create the article is the wrong thing to do. Create one article then create a redirect.
  • Check for variant spellings, particularly non-English titles, titles that start with "The," "An," or "A," and journals that have changed names or merged with other journals. Also check for a name under title (journal) even in cases where disambiguation may not be required.
  • Check for other articles that mention this journal by name, particularly if it is not part of a reference. If an article has a substantial section about a journal, a redirect or article split may be appropriate.
  • If the link is red, create it or make a stub.
  • If the link is blue, check if it's a link to an article or stub about the journal. If it is, remove it from the list.
  • If it is a link to an article that does not discuss the journal, add (journal) to the entry so it turns red, then create the article or stub.
  • If the link goes to an article that does discuss the journal, it was probably redirected in good faith. Either make the proper article or stub or mark the blue link as "needs an article."
  • If you change a link's name then create an article, check any disambiguation pages or tags, check "what links here" for the old name, and if necessary create a new disambiguation page or insert disambiguation tags.
  • Before creating any article, check its deletion log and results of any AfD. Some items in this list may not be scientific journals.
