On WP, the magazines were added based on [[impact factor]]s and other such rankings. However, since this isn't WP, the editors should feel free to invent our own criteria if we think we can do better. Bear in mind, however, that on WP this list was a sporadic astroturfing target as magazines tried to add themselves before stricter rules were put in place. --[[User:ZachPruckowski|ZachPruckowski]] 10:46, 10 November 2006 (CST) | |||

How journals are selected?
It is unclear to me how Journals are selected. Ok, a ca. 10 journals are picked for every discipline, but which ones exactly?
I am asking because I'd like to help by editing in my discipline (Earth Sciences). I see journals there that are about atmosphere and oceans mostly, but there is little or nothing about solid Earth, for example. Cheers
