[edit] conflict of interest
Re: conflict of interest on journals: Use the article history to find some recently-created ones, and model after those. If you keep it to a stub with bare publishing information and a couple of sentences describing what the journal does, it won't be a COI. Just make sure the journal is a real, peer-reviewed journal. If it's not, it probably shouldn't be on the list in the first place. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 17:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
The advice davidwr gives is the same as i would give, and I will also be pleased to help you. But also make sure you do not include the standard PR -style text. The sort of material used on the journal web site is almost certainly not suited for an encyclopedia--only factual language is acceptable describing the journal. You can list its principal field, but the usual paragraph on its aims is considered advertising copy, as is a broad listing of all the related fields of science. Similarly saying that it will be of interest to all researchers in chemistry (etc). --that sort of thing is usually obvious.
- What else do we want: actually, quite a lot there are many useful things you can say: * The name & institution of the editor in chief, but usually just the editor in chief. Some publications with extremely notable past editors in chief should list them, but it's usually excessive. We use this information to establish the notability of the scientists concerned--any ed. in chief of a major journal will get a WP article. Not the whole board. * You can say whether its published from the US or the UK. *You can say if its included in major online services beyond your own, such as ebsco or proquest & if there is an embargo, as there usually is for journals like these, how long it is. *You can give the circulation. *You can and should give the major indexing services. Not all the little ones like Aluminum Abstracts, but: ChemAbs, Web of Science, Scopus, Inspec, Compendex, Medline/PubMed, Biosis, Psych Info, or the analogous ones in other fields. This is a major factor in establishing notability for a journal. *You can and should give the impact factor. The current ones are the 06s. Only the most recent should be given. It can also give the rank, but give it as 4th out of the 80 journals in ___. It means more than just 4th, because 4th could be 4th out of 8. Do not give the price; do not give the purchase options.
- I'll look at your articles and make suggestions. DGG (talk) 02:29, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

- sure. I have made a page for you, User talk:Journals88/sandbox. Just add one there as a start, and let me know. We have an expanded group of help pages that you may want to read, Wikipedia:Business FAQ. It also would be a good idea to start your WP:User:88 page, and give your name and affiliation. If you want to receive emails from other people at Wikipedia, activate your email from the user preferences. DGG (talk) 17:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 20:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] =the two articles
I edited them a little further, and I see no reason why you should not now introduce them. (Lists of all the topics covered in a journals are usually not a good idea, especially when they are reasonably obvious). 18:13, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter
I'm a bit puzzled about your page blanking. Article pages should not be blank. If the redirect is incorrect, you can fix it. Or, you can drop me a note and I'll fix it. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 15:51, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
