On WP, the magazines were added based on [[impact factor]]s and other such rankings. However, since this isn't WP, the editors should feel free to invent our own criteria if we think we can do better. Bear in mind, however, that on WP this list was a sporadic astroturfing target as magazines tried to add themselves before stricter rules were put in place. --[[User:ZachPruckowski|ZachPruckowski]] 10:46, 10 November 2006 (CST) | On WP, the magazines were added based on [[impact factor]]s and other such rankings.

Thanks Zachary, I surfed trough the most cited journals and selected those I believe might be also important historically, balancing between different disciplines between Earth Sciences. Many red links, though... | |||

How journals are selected?
It is unclear to me how Journals are selected. Ok, a ca. 10 journals are picked for every discipline, but which ones exactly?
I am asking because I'd like to help by editing in my discipline (Earth Sciences). I see journals there that are about atmosphere and oceans mostly, but there is little or nothing about solid Earth, for example. Cheers

Before adding articles for journals listed here
For journals listed here as "red links", there was no article a the time the list was first taken from Wikipedia, but there may be now. Check in Wikipedia first. DavidGoodman 04:10, 13 January 2007 (CST)
Recommended additions that need discussion
Journal of Organic Chemistry. Should organic chemistry get it's own heading? should it go under chemistry? or do you want to view it as a biological science (like the MCATs do). -Tom Kelly (Talk) 13:58, 13 January 2007 (CST)
