The CSV is structured as follows:</p> <ol> <li>Columns 1 - 5 list all the journals and their properties</li> <li>Columns 6 - 9 list all the institutions and their properties</li> </ol> <p>To correctly read the CSV you need to “split” it between columns 5 and 6, and the resulting two ranges contain a journal or an institution per row.</p> <p>The Journal properties are:</p> <ul> <li>Journal Name - the name of the Journal, usually as provided in the original agreement.</li> <li>ISSN (Print) - the Print ISSN of the Journal where available</li> <li>ISSN (Online) - the Online ISSN of the Journal where available</li> <li>Journal First Seen - the date on which the TA Data Management team observed this journal to be part of the TA (see note below)</li> <li>Journal Last Seen - the date on which the TA Data Management team observed this journal to have left the TA (see note below)</li> </ul> <p>The Institution properties are:</p> <ul> <li>Institution Name - the name of the Institution, usually as provided in the original agreement</li> <li>ROR ID - the ROR ID of the Institution, where available</li> <li>Institution First Seen - the date on which the TA Data Management team observed this institution to be part of the TA (see note below)</li> <li>Institution Last Seen - the date on which the TA Data Management team observed this institution to have left the TA (see note below)</li> </ul> <p>A note on “First Seen” and “Last Seen” dates: the TA Data Management team carries out initial review and then ongoing review of TAs to determine the list of journals and institutions that are covered. Over time, TAs may evolve such that new institutions or journals may be added to it, or institutions or journals may leave it, all while the main TA agreement is in effect. As a result, our dataset tracks those changes over time. As we do not have access to the details of when a journal/institution joins/leaves a TA, instead we record the dates when we first/last observed the journal/institution to be part of the TA. This means, for example, that if you see a “Journal First Seen” date of 2020-08-20, this does not mean that the Journal only became part of the TA on that date, it only means that that is the first date that we reviewed the TA and observed that journal to be a member. The journal may have been part of the TA since the start date of the agreement, but we cannot necessarily verify that.</p> </div> <section class="row row--centered patterned-section" style="max-width: 100%;"> <div class="wave" aria-hidden="true"> <svg preserveaspectratio="none" viewbox="0 0 1200 120" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="width: 125%; height: 75px; transform: scaleX(-1);"> <path d="M0 0v46.29c47.79 22.2 103.59 32.17 158 28 70.36-5.37 136.33-33.31 206.8-37.5 73.84-4.36 147.54 16.88 218.2 35.26 69.27 18 138.3 24.88 209.4 13.08 36.15-6 69.85-17.84 104.45-29.34C989.49 25 1113-14.29 1200 52.47V0z" opacity=".25"></path> <path d="M0 0v15.81c13 21.11 27.64 41.05 47.69 56.24C99.41 111.27 165 111 224.58 91.58c31.15-10.15 60.09-26.07 89.67-39.8 40.92-19 84.73-46 130.83-49.67 36.26-2.85 70.9 9.42 98.6 31.56 31.77 25.39 62.32 62 103.63 73 40.44 10.79 81.35-6.69 119.13-24.28s75.16-39 116.92-43.05c59.73-5.85 113.28 22.88 168.9 38.84 30.2 8.66 59 6.17 87.09-7.5 22.43-10.89 48-26.93 60.65-49.24V0z" opacity=".5"></path> <path d="M0 0v5.63C149.93 59 314.09 71.32 475.83 42.57c43-7.64 84.23-20.12 127.61-26.46 59-8.63 112.48 12.24 165.56 35.4C827.93 77.22 886 95.24 951.2 90c86.53-7 172.46-45.71 248.8-84.81V0z"></path> </svg> </div> <p class="col col--1of2 alert">The information provided by the <em>Journal Checker Tool</em> represents cOAlition S’s current understanding in relation to the policies of the journals contained within it.
