Note that this also covers edits made to competitors and affiliates of the employer. Likewise, a scientist that publishes research in a journal can also have a conflict of interest since a scientist's status is often judged based on where they publish their research. This is particularly true of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RECENTISM" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RECENTISM">recently established journals</a>, <a href="/wiki/Niche_market" title="Niche market">niche journals</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Fringe_science" title="Fringe science">fringe journals</a>.

If you are in a conflict of interest, it is best to limit yourself to this guide and stick to adding/updating non-controversial information (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:JWG#YES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:JWG"><i>what to include</i></a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:JWG#NO" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:JWG"><i>what not to include</i></a>) such as updating <a href="/wiki/Category:Academic_journals_by_publisher" title="Category:Academic journals by publisher">journal articles related to your publisher</a> to have the most up-to-date impact factors, document history (merges/splits, current/previous editor(s)-in-chief), uploading missing cover images, fixing links to official websites, or expanding the <a href="#Further_reading">further reading</a> section. Updating existing routine information based on updated sources is also non-controversial. However, if you wanted to add a section on how the journal recently won some recognition, or the specific business practices of the journal/publisher, it is probably best to suggest doing so on the article's talk page (with sources) and let other editors decide if this is warranted. </p><p>If something is unclear, or if you are unsure of something or need help getting around, you can always ask for advice at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Academic_journals" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Academic journals">Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Academic journals</a>. If you are <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:HERE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:HERE">here to improve</a> the encyclopedia and want to edit in line with community expectations, you will find helpful editors.

It might already exist under a slightly different name than you were expecting.</li> <li>Second, make sure the journal is notable according to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NJOURNALS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NJOURNALS">our notability guidelines</a>, otherwise it will probably be deleted. A journal will usually be considered notable if <i>at least one</i> of the three following criteria are met:</li></ul> <ol><li>The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area.</li> <li>The journal is frequently cited by other reliable sources.</li> <li>The journal is historically important in its subject area.</li></ol> <dl><dd>This makes it hard for newly established journals to get an article on Wikipedia, as they usually have not had time to become influential journals. As a rule of thumb, if a journal is indexed in <i>high-selectivity</i> <a href="/wiki/Bibliographic_database" title="Bibliographic database">bibliographic databases</a> in its field (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Scopus" title="Scopus">Scopus</a> or <a href="/wiki/Science_Citation_Index" class="mw-redirect" title="Science Citation Index">Science Citation Index</a>) or has an <a href="/wiki/Impact_factor" title="Impact factor">impact factor</a>, this will usually be enough to establish notability. Being indexed in <i>low-selectivity</i> (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Emerging_Sources_Citation_Index" title="Emerging Sources Citation Index">Emerging Sources Citation Index</a>, <a href="/wiki/Directory_of_Open_Access_Journals" title="Directory of Open Access Journals">Directory of Open Access Journals</a>), or <i>comprehensive</i> (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Google_Scholar" title="Google Scholar">Google Scholar</a>) bibliographic databases is not enough. An alternative to a standalone article is to create a section in another relevant article. For instance <i><a href="/wiki/Bird_Notes" class="mw-redirect" title="Bird Notes">Bird Notes</a></i> is detailed in a section of our <a href="/wiki/Royal_Society_for_the_Protection_of_Birds" title="Royal Society for the Protection of Birds">Royal Society for the Protection of Birds</a> article.</dd></dl> <ul><li>Writing an article about a journal usually is easier if you have an issue of the journal next to you, or the journal's website loaded in your browser, or both.</li> <li>Tracking down the history of a journal can be a bit complicated. Merges, splits, renaming, etc... are sometimes mentioned on the website, but are often omitted. The <a href="/wiki/National_Library_of_Australia" title="National Library of Australia">National Library of Australia</a>'s <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/">catalogue</a> is a good place to look for such information. The <a href="/wiki/CODEN" title="CODEN">CODEN</a> database is also a good place. While library catalogs can sometimes provide clues, care should be exercised as they can be outdated or contain errors.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Article_name" data-mw-thread-id="h-Article_name-Step-by-step_guide"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Article_name-Step-by-step_guide"></span>Article name<span class="anchor" id="Title"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="h-Article_name-Step-by-step_guide"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Academic_Journals/Writing_guide&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Article name" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>The article should be located at the official full name of the journal (<span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);"><i>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America</i></span>, not <span class="example deprecated-content example-bad" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-removed, #8B0000);"><i>PNAS</i></span>) unless it is officially known in an abbreviated form (<span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);"><i>FASEB Journal</i></span>, not <span class="example deprecated-content example-bad" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-removed, #8B0000);"><i>Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal</i></span>).

Filling this infobox will also help with the writing of the article. Please read the <a href="/wiki/Template:Infobox_journal" title="Template:Infobox journal">documentation</a> for this infobox carefully before filling in the different fields. </p><p>The ISSN is usually listed on the journal's website, but the other identifiers such as LCCN, OCLC, CODEN will usually need to be looked up.

Pretty much everything from the infobox can be included in prose, but leave out things like ISSN, OCLC identifier, website, and other "technical" information. Good descriptions of the journals can usually be found in the first few pages of the journal, or on their website, but sometimes they are overly precise and need to be "condensed". </p><p>Please reference everything you write.

Something like: </p> <blockquote class="example example-block" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);"> <ul><li>{{Official website|http://www.journalofoo.com}}</li> <li>[http://www.FooSociety.com Foo Society of Sierra Gordo]</li></ul> </blockquote> <p>Publisher homepages are usually of very little relevance, so do not include them unless they are of particular relevance (for example if the publisher was founded to publish that specific journal).

If unsure, rate as C class over B class.</li> <li>If the article is substantially developed and well written, you may considered nominating it for a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:GAN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:GAN">good</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FAC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FAC">featured</a> article status. Do not unilaterally assess them as such yourself. As of 2024, only <a href="/wiki/Category:GA-Class_Academic_Journal_articles" title="Category:GA-Class Academic Journal articles">seven journals and one publisher</a> have articles that reached good-article status. No journal article has reached featured-article status.</li></ul> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(4)"><span
