Peer reviewed journal and referred journal.
by D.V. Patwardhan 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Ref: LIS-FORUM Digest, dt 14th March. This has reference to the Mr.Balesh Kumar (Librarian S. D. College (Lahore) Ambala Cantt.-133 001- Haryana)’s question on “Peer reviewed journal and Referred journal”. A peer reviewed journal is one in which the contents or articles are reviewed by Peers/Experts in thier field before publication. A journal having articles reviewed by peers/experts is called referred journal. Some of the characteristics required for papers to be submitted for academic journals are novelty of the topic, clarity of presentation, error free language, etc. generally Publishers/Editors such as IEEE, ASME, Elsevier, etc. expect papers submitted to them should have very high standard so that editors/publishers can have high impact factor for their journals. As per my knowledge the norms for papers are not uniform for all the publishers. Papers submitted for presention during conferences/seminars do not expect of such a high standard as the orgnisers of events want to receive good number of papers from participants. They desire to encourage new bees.

Vijayakumar <vjkjk(a)yahoo.com> FYI. -----Original Message----- From: An informal open list set up by UKSG - Connecting the Information Community� On Behalf Of Lotte Jorgensen Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2013 6:26 PM Subject: DOAJ reaches new milestones March 12th 2013 DOAJ reaches new milestones: We have just completed the transition to a new environment and launched a new platform with integrated functionality for sharing, exporting and enhanced search/browse functionality: at the article level, search results can be filtered by language and publication year� and by license and publication fee; at the journal level, you can filter by subject, by country, by license and by publication fees. These facets will be developed further in the months to come. (Read more about our enhancements on our home page: www.doaj.org <http://www.doaj.org>.) We are also very proud to announce that the DOAJ has reached two important milestones: 1. For the first time since launch in 2003, more than 50% of the � � journals are providing metadata at article level.We will continue to � � work with the 2000+ publishers to increase this figure. 2. More than 1 million articles are now searchable in DOAJ which means � � more than 1 million article-level metadata entriesare available for � � harvesting!We expect this figure to increase significantly in the � � months to come. We continue to work with key stakeholders to agree on and implement new, tighter criteria for the inclusion of journals in the DOAJ: critieria that will address issues of quality and openness, as well as other kinds of information about the journals. We are very excited about these developments and we are grateful for the continued support from the community. We always need more support so we can continue to provide a better service, so please consider contributing: http://www.doaj.org/doaj?func=loadTemplate&template=supportDoaj&uiLanguage=… For more information, please contact Lars Bj�rnshauge <mailto:lars@doaj.org>or Dom Mitchell <mailto:dom@doaj.org> The Directory of Open Access Journals is provided by IS4OA <http://www.is4oa.org>in cooperation with SemperTool <http://www.sempertool.dk>.
