Decision meeting 18.October 2024

On the decision meeting 18.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.

For the decision meeting, the Directorate has assessed

• 337 publication channels.
• 41 successors (journals that «inherit» its level from its predecessor in the Norwegian Register, if the criteria for level 1 are fulfilled.)

Of the 378 publication channels that the Directorate processed and assessed, 60 publication channels were specifically discussed with the Working Committee (AU) for the National Board of Scholarly Publishing:

• 2 complaints (complaints about previous decisions on level).
• 14 messages of concerns (concerns about the quality of already approved publication channels).
• 8 follow-up cases (publication channels that we did not decide a level for at the previous decision meeting and that AU is responsible for following up.)
• 3 special cases (suggestions about publication channels where the Directorate is unsure about the quality of the publication channels).
• 33 publication channels under discussion (level X).
