Journal Quality in the Asian Region

Abstract

The authors report on a project sponsored by the IFLA Round Table of Library and Information Science Journals to determine factors contributing to journal quality. This was a pilot project focusing on Asia with the aim in part of determining whether a larger international project might be feasible. Quality of papers emerged as the key category, with a number of criteria used to determine this quality. It was found that, given the relative ease with which data were collected for the pilot study and the ready participation of most editors approached for input, a more substantial project would be possible with only low level funding.
