How to suggest a publication channel for level 1

To suggest a new publication channel for level 1, you must first log in to The Norwegian Register.

1. Register a new publication channel.

Complete the application form with as much information and documentation as possible.

2. Send in the application form by pressing “Save”.

We will receive the suggestion at our list over new suggestions and will consider it continuously.

3. The suggestion will be approved or not approved at a decision meeting.

The suggested publication channel will get its own information page in The Norwegian Register and you will be able to find it in The Norwegian Register.

On the decision meeting 17. October, we assessed suggestions for new publication channels at level 1. We did also reconsider some publication channels that already had been approved as scientific publication channels. Next decision meeting for level 1 is 23. January 2026.

For the decision meeting, the Directorate has assessed

  • 272 publication channels.
  • 6 successors (journals that «inherit» its level from its predecessor in the Norwegian Register, if the criteria for level 1 are fulfilled).
  • Together 637 publication channels so far in 2025.
