[edit] Description of fields
- Title. This is the current official journal title.
- Cover. A journal cover can be added to Wikipedia as an image file under the supposition that the usage constitutes "fair use". Such covers should not generally be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
- Discipline. I've provided a link to the List of academic disciplines which I think should be the source for values in this field. The value in this field should be wikilinked.
- Language. I am not assuming that all academic journals that are of encyclopedic interest are English, even though I can only read those in English.
- Abbreviated title. More accurately "abbreviated titles"; these are both official abbreviations (such as those found via the NCBI; example entry) but also colloquial titles. For instance, for the Journal of Biological Chemistry the official abbreviation is J. Biol. Chem. but the colloquial abbreviation is JBC. The abbreviations should probably appear in Wikipedia as redirects.
- Publisher (country). The publisher of record and the country from which publication takes place or in which the publisher is based. The publisher value should be wikilinked internally.
- Publication history. Many journals that have existed for more than a couple of decades have changed their name. This space can be used to indicate those changes, as well as any interruptions in publication that might have occurred. If there has been continuous publication under the same name since 1974, then an appropriate value might be "1974-present" or "1974 forward" or some other statement of the type.
- Website. There are often two websites for a journal: the publisher site and the homepage for the journal itself. Typically this link should be to the journal itself.
- ISSN. This is an international registry code for serial publications and is a useful key for identification and tracking of serials; not all serials have associated ISSN codes; therefore, this should be an optional field. Further, unless the ISSN appears on the journal's website, some mention about the source of the information should be provided in a References or Notes section as the validity of the information cannot be otherwise verified.
[edit] Additional fields for consideration
- editor
- volume span
- peer-review status
- type (original research, reviews, news, etc.)
- impact factor (see below)
- organizational affiliation (for those that are, such as JACS and the American Chemical Society)
- indexed in ... (for instance, medline, science citations, etc.)
