[edit] American or world-wide?

Under "Scholarly articles", why does it say "American academia"? Why not world-wide?

because other systems differ somewhat, this has been clarified.DGG 01:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not complete

This article is still not complete--links are here to several more-specific pages that have not yet been written--they will be written over the next few days. DGG 01:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I have just done a start for List of academic journals. DGG 03:14, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] letter ranks

Can you give the exact place on their website where the list is located?

• And I would think this must be in a few subjects only pertinent to their interest, please specify
  • And, it is stated throughout the article that impact factors are not a measure of prestige, so I have changed the wording a little.

[edit] References

Isn't it ironic that this article doesn't have academic references?--BMF81 12:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, yes it is :) --WikiSlasher 03:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] example

The example is probably necessary, because it is in fact not always clear that any but the major journals are important. History seems a particularly obious example to use. DGG 07:46, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
