Hi all

It's been suggested to me that it would be useful to get JoPP some more institutional recognition. Does anyone have a clue about whether it would be desirable and / or advisable to get JoPP listed into Scopus or ThomsonReuters Web of Science? Scopus is run by Elsevier which is obvs not great and after a brief look on their site I could not find info on how to be indexed. On the other hand Thomson does indicate what their criteria for inclusion is:

No doubt it would be nice to get some institutional recognition for JoPP. Personally I don't use neither of those resources anymore to look for bibliography, but I remember lots of people were using the web of science when i was doing my phd in delft.

However they seem to have requirements which may be hard to meet - such as a DOI for each article...? is this a way to exclude non-corporate publications? Would pursuing this be a good idea? Do we need to revisit the idea of raising money for JoPP?

Hmmm...how much would it cost to get a DOI for each article? Does anyone know?

Thoughts?

cheers

Mathieu
