This single journal study investigated the predatory journal landscape in the information systems field, by analysing the International Journal of Applied Information Systems (IJAIS). The IJAIS was viewed from a bibliometric and citation perspective. The bibliometric study examined article productivity, authorship patterns and collaboration. An analysis was performed of 728 articles published in 11 volumes and 104 issues of IJAIS in the period 2012 to 2017. The citation study analysed citations to IJAIS papers in Scopus and Web of Science. A cited reference search was conducted in Scopus and Web of Science, and IJAIS papers cited in the list of references or works cited in Scopus or Web of Science papers were retrieved. Results of the bibliometric study revealed that the average number of articles per volume in IJAIS was 62. 1837 authors contributed to this journal. The journal displays a collaborative authorship pattern with 627 (86.13%) articles that were co-authored, compared to 101 (13.87%) that were single authored. The citation study showed that 751 Scopus papers cite IJAIS, of which 18 were review papers, compared to 153 Web of Science papers that cite IJAIS of which 9 were review papers. Of the 728 IJAIS articles published, 198 (27.2%) papers were cited in Scopus and Web of Science combined.

Introduction: These datasets contain information about journals in the eight regions of the world based on United Nations SDG classification (Central& Southern Asia, Europe, Eastern &South Eastern Asia, Latin America, North Africa& Western Asia, Oceania, North America and Sub-Saharan Africa) that are indexed in Web of Science/Scopus and are available in Ulrich periodical directory. The datasets were created by matching Ulrich journal information with journal information from Web of Science and Scopus.

Data Creation: A single Web of Science master journal list was created for SSCI, SCI, AHCI and ESCI by combining and removing duplicate records from their lists; the Web of Science master journal contained 21,908 unique journals. Only active scholarly journals from Scopus were included in this study; i.e. duplicates, all inactive sources, trade journals, book series, monographs and conference proceedings were removed. 26,029 active journals of the 43,013 sources in Scopus were included. Journal lists from 239 countries were collected from Ulrich comprehensive periodical directory and analyzed by region. After removal of duplicates, this generated a database of 83,429 unique active academic journals. To compile regional and global datasets, duplicate journals in the regional and global levels, respectively, were removed. The master journal lists created from Web of Science, Scopus and Ulrich were transferred to an SQL database for querying. Journal matching was carried out in two steps. Firstly, the ISSN numbers of journals in Web of Science and Scopus were used to match journal records to Ulrich. In the second step, the remaining journals were then matched using their titles, and these matches were manually verified to reduce the chances of false positives. Using these two steps, we were able to match 20,255 (92.46%) of the journals in Web of Science, and 23,349 (89.70%) of the academic journals from Scopus, with Ulrichsweb journal list.

The database includes information on Russian journals published by Federal universities, National Research universities and Basic universities and covers such aspects as indexing information in different bibliographic databases, volumes of indexed papers in 2018-2022, rankings in different databases, subject categories, geographical locations, numbers of issues per year, list of founders, journals sites, etc. (in total 59 variables).

This is a list of all the journal abbreviations from Web of Science. It is not a perfect list, not least because of the numerous errors in the Web of Science list. However, it was quite a fast way of getting most of the nearly 90 000 journal titles and abbreviations into jabref, and could be useful for other bibliographic systems and/or doing it manually.

This was created using R (the only "programming language" i know), extracting the abbreviations from the web of science lists (https://images.webofknowledge.com/WOKRS520B4.1/help/WOS/A_abrvjt.html).

Indian journal of pharmaceutical sciences Abstract & Indexing - ResearchHelpDesk - Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (0250-474X), is the official scientific publication of the Indian Pharmaceutical Association. It started in 1939 as the Indian Journal of Pharmacy. the journal is published Bimonthly. Abstracting and Indexing Information The journal is included in the following Abstracting / Indexing services: Biosis Preview, Chemical Abstract Service (CAS), CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International (CABI), Cite Factor, EBSCO A-Z, Ex-Libris, Hamdard University, Journal TOCs, JournalSeek, Journal Citation Reports, Open J Gate, Publons, Proquest Summons, Refseek, Secret Search Engine Labs, Sherpa Romeo, SCOPUS, Science Citation Index Expanded, SJR (Scimago Journal and Country Rank), UGC (University Grants Commission), Ulrich Periodical Directory, World Cat - OCLC and Web of Science. Journal Ethics The Indian Journal of Pharmacy started in 1939 as "a quarterly journal devoted to the Science and practice of Pharmacy in all its branches". The Chief Editor and the main guiding force behind the 'Journal' was Prof. M. L. Schroff, Head of the Department of Pharmaceutics, Benaras Hindu University, Benaras. Owing to various difficulties experienced in publishing the 'Journal" at Benaras, the Council of IPA decided in 1946 to entrust the task to its Bombay Branch, and to transfer the editorial and publication offices to Bombay. Prof. M. L. Khorana, Head of the Pharmaceuticals Section, Department of Chemical Technology, Bombay University was requested to take the Editorship. In 1949 it was decided to publish this journal bi-monthly instead of quarterly. Soon after from January 1950 this journal started coming out as a monthly periodical. While Mr. S. P. Mukherji worked as Assistant Editor from 1946 to 1952, in May 1950 Mr. N. S. Bhunvara joined as the second Assistant Editor. The Headquarters of the IPA was shifted to Bombay with effect from 1st January 1953 and this helped considerably the publication of this journal and its circulation to members. Prof. Khorana resigned as Editor of the journal with effect from 1 January 1954 and Dr. G. B. Ramasarma succeeded him as the Editor and Mr. A. I. Mehta and Dr. R. S. Baichwal joined as Assistant Editors. In 1955 July, the journal’s office together with those of the Association and the Bombay State Branch was shifted from U. D. C. T., Matunga to Kalam Kutir 213-219, Frere Road, Bombay - 1. From 1959, Mr. L. S. Patel joined as the third Assistant Editor. In 1963, the Indian Journal of Pharmacy celebrated its Silver Jubilee. A detailed history of the Journal was published in the journal (IJP, 1963, 25, 8-17). The year 1969 represented an important milestone in the history of IJP. From this year it changed its character from that of “the official publication” of the IPA to that of "the official scientific publication" of the association. Publication of professional and other general articles and Association News was taken over by a new monthly periodical called "Pharma Times" with Mr. A. I. Mehta as its Editor. The IJP became an exclusively scientific journal and the frequency of its publication was reduced to that of a bimonthly. Dr. R. S. Baichwal took over as the first Editor of this Journal. In 1979 the name of IJP was expanded to the 'Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences'. In 1986, Dr. C. L. Kaul joined as the Associated Editor, went on to become the Editor in 1992, and continued till 1996. Dr. Rao V. S. V. Vadlamudi joined the editorial team as the Associate Editor in 1994, became the Editor in 1996, and continued till 2013. Dr. Divakar Goli is elected as the Editor for IJPS in 2014 and continues till date. The journal changed its get-up in 2000 and became online in 2006 with the journal website www.ijpsonline.com. Currently it is available as a print version with a circulation of about 800 and also available online. Indian Pharmaceutical Association The Indian Pharmaceutical Association (IPA) is the oldest premier association of pharmaceutical professionals in India, with a member base of over 13,000, spread across the length and breadth of the country. IPA operates in India through 20 state branches and more than 45 local branches. The members represent various facets of pharmaceutical profession viz., industry, regulatory, community and hospital pharmacy practices, and education. As a member of the Drug Technical Advisory Board, India, IPA is actively involved in advising the government on matters of professional importance. IPA is affiliated with international pharma associations like FIP, FAPA, CPA, AAPS, AAiPS, IPSF and is working with international bodies such as WHO and WHPA for carrying out various collaborative professional activities that include organizing training programs for professionals from industry, academics, regulatory and practice. IPA makes representations to the authorities on matters of professional interest and works constantly towards upgrading the standards of pharmacy professional services offered by the pharmacists. IPA’s major objective is to position pharmacists as one of the important healthcare providers in our country. The IPA is committed to promote the highest professional and ethical standards of pharmacy, focus the image of pharmacists as competent healthcare professionals, sensitize the community, government, and others on vital professional issues and support pharmaceutical education and sciences in all aspects.

Master List: Consolidated Web of Science (SSCI, SCIE, ESCI) and Scopus data. Used for the article 'Latin American triple-A journals 1: A quality roadmap from the quality indicators and journals’ presence in Web of Science and Scopus', published in Information Development 33(4) by Machin-Mastromatteo, J.D., Tarango, J., and Medina-Yllescas, E. (2017).

This dataset was compiled as part of a study on Barriers and Opportunities in the Discoverability and Indexing of Student-led Academic Journals. The list of student journals and their details is compiled from public sources. This list is used to identify the presence of Canadian student journals in Google Scholar as well as in select indexes and databases: DOAJ, Scopus, Web of Science, Medline, Erudit, ProQuest, and HeinOnline. Additionally, journal publishing platform is recorded to be used for a correlational analysis against Google Scholar indexing results. For further details see README.

The Expanded Journal List (EJL) contains over 39,000 sources in a list that combines the sources from Journal Citation Report (Web of Science) SCImago Journal Rank (Scopus) and CWTS CORE (OpenAlex).

Journal lists of all the 46 Sub-Saharan African countries were retrieved manually from Ulrich periodical database using the "country of publication" field in the advanced search interface. Delimiters were used to limit the retrieved results to periodicals in the journal categories and with active status. Ulrich's database usually multiple records for the different formats (eg. online and print), or languages in which a single journal is published. Duplicates were removed from the retrieved results.

Master journal lists for Web of Science indexes comprising of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) and the Arts and Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI) and Emerging Sources Citation Index ESCI. Master journal lists for Scopus, EMBASE and MEDLINE databases were downloaded from their respective publishers' websites. Master journal lists for AJOL was not available on the publishers' website. Therefore, the master journal list from AJOL was created manually by extracting journal information from the publishers' websites. Only active journals were included in the study, where active journals were defined as journals that have published at least an issue in 2021 or 2020. The master journal list for AIM was not available as well. The whole database comprising of 18,949 articles were downloaded with the source (journal names). Journals were sorted to identify unique journal names, where only 15,279 articles had identifiable journal names. Five hundred twenty-four unique journals were identified, with only 74 active journals. Journals that were not indexed in the AIM database in 2020 or 2021 were deemed inactive and were not included in the study. This study was not considered for ethics review because data used was collected from publicly available records.

A list of Australian journals that are currently (in 2021) active. Australian journals are defined here as journals that belong to or are affiliated with an Australian entity including educational institutions, non-profit organisations, small commercial publishers, government bodies and so on. The list was compiled by searching in multiple databases including Ulrich's directory of periodicals, Scopus, Web of Science, and DOAJ. Each journal was checked for information to verify whether it was Australian. The data include Title, ISSN, Country of publisher, website link, start year, Corporate author (the body that sponsors editorial processes and might own the journal or the journal might be affiliated with), publisher, Field of Research code (based on The Australian and New Zealand Standard Research Classification 2018), whether the journal is listed in Scopus, Web of Science, Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) list of 2018.

Research data to accommodate the article "Overlay journals: a study of the current landscape" (https://doi.org/10.1177/09610006221125208)

Identifying the sample of overlay journals was an explorative process (occurring during April 2021 to February 2022). The sample of investigated overlay journals were identified by using the websites of Episciences.org (2021), Scholastica (2021), Free Journal Network (2021), Open Journals (2021), PubPub (2022), and Wikipedia (2021). In total, this study identified 34 overlay journals. Please see the paper for more details about the excluded journal types.

The journal ISSN numbers, manuscript source repositories, first overlay volumes, article volumes, publication languages, peer-review type, licence for published articles, author costs, publisher types, submission policy, and preprint availability policy were observed by inspecting journal editorial policies and submission guidelines found from journal websites. The overlay journals’ ISSN numbers were identified by examining journal websites and cross-checking this information with the Ulrich’s periodicals database (Ulrichsweb, 2021). Journals that published review reports, either with reviewers’ names or anonymously, were classified as operating with open peer-review. Publisher types defined by Laakso and Björk (2013) were used to categorise the findings concerning the publishers. If the journal website did not include publisher information, the editorial board was interpreted to publish the journal.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) field of science classification was used to categorise the journals into different domains of science. The journals’ primary OECD field of sciences were defined by the authors through examining the journal websites.

Whether the journals were indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Scopus, or Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science Core collection’s journal master list was examined by searching the services with journal ISSN numbers and journal titles.

The identified overlay journals were examined from the viewpoint of both qualitative and quantitative journal metrics. The qualitative metrics comprised the Nordic expert panel rankings of scientific journals, namely the Finnish Publication Forum, the Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator and the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers. Searches were conducted from the web portals of the above services with both ISSN numbers and journal titles. Clarivate Analytics’ Journal Citation Reports database was searched with the use of both ISSN numbers and journal titles to identify whether the journals had a Journal Citation Indicator (JCI), Two-Year Impact Factor (IF) and an Impact Factor ranking (IF rank). The examined Journal Impact Factors and Impact Factor rankings were for the year 2020 (as released in 2021).

Merged PLOS ONE and Web of Science data compiled in .dta files produced by STATA13. Included is a Do-file for reproducing the regression model estimates reported in the pre-print (Tables I and II) and published version (Table 1). Each observation (.dta line) corresponds to a given PLOS ONE article, with various article-level and editor-level characteristics used as explanatory and control variables. This summary provides a brief description of each variable and its source.

Methods We gathered the citation information for all PLOS ONE articles, indexed by A, from the Web of Science (WOS) Core Collection. From this data we obtained a master list of the unique digital object identifier, DOIA and the number of citations, cA, at the time of the data download (census) date

(a) For the pre-print this corresponds to December 3, 2016;

(b) and for the final published article this corresponds to February 25, 2019.

We then used each DOIA to access the corresponding online XML version of each article at PLOS ONE by visiting the unique web address “http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=” + “DOIA”. After parsing the full-text XML (primarily the author byline data and reference list), we merged the PLOS ONE publication information and WOS citation data by matching on DOIA.

allofplos: PLOS has since made all full-text XML data freely available: https://www.plos.org/text-and-data-mining ; this option was not available at the moment of our data collection.

Context The following shortlist of diamond open-access journals was compiled to increase awareness of alternative scholarly publication models among the six departments of the Faculty of Science at Utrecht University. The list is relevant to the six disciplines at the Faculty of Science: Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics, and Pharmaceutical Sciences. For this purpose, a "diamond journal" is defined as a journal indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) that does not charge an article processing charge (APC). Contents and Results The Excel file titled “Diamond_journals_faculty_of_science_UU” contains the list of selected diamond journals based on the following criteria: they allow submissions in English, have a plagiarism screening policy, possess an electronic ISSN number, and accept submissions in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Information and Computing Sciences, Physics, and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In this shortlist, 355 journals meet the criteria. Out of these 355 journals, only 29 have received a DOAJ seal, 150 journals are indexed in Scopus, and 94 journals are indexed in Web of Science. A detailed description of the methods employed to obtain this shortlist can be found in the Word file titled "Methods_and_Results". The raw CSV data has been included under the name "Raw_DOAJ_journal_metadata_2023_07_25". Limitations The compilers of this shortlist are aware that some current diamond journals could change their status to non-diamond by charging article processing fees at a later stage. Since the journal record is not always updated by the publishers, we strongly recommend the users double-check the latest open access status directly on the journal's homepage (journal URLs are provided in the Excel file). The same applies for Scopus and WOS indexations. {"references": ["Bosman, Jeroen, Frantsv\u00e5g, Jan Erik, Kramer, Bianca, Langlais, Pierre-Carl, & Proudman, Vanessa. (2021).
