As a colleague of yours at UiA and a scholar of the field in question for some twenty years or so, I would very much like to comment on your earlier statement as I think it is in need of comment. Within the realm og Old Germanic, E-RGA is one of the most profiled and prestigious publication channels in Germany and Europe. First of all, it is the supplement to the profound Reallexikon itself, which is the standard reference work within this large field. The range of scholars involved in E-RGA is by no means restricted to the Germanic speaking area. It has a markedly international profile and is directly linked to international fora and conferences such as the International Conferences in Runology. The E-RGA volumes certainly unite scholars from all over the world and their publications are the leading ones and need to be quoted, for instance in the field of runology and Old Germanic more broadly. E-RGA clearly fulfills high international standards, also when it comes to the peer-reviewing process, and it is a clear tendency that more and more publications within E-RGA and its anthologies are now in English. Recent research within the fields of Old Germanic linguistics, runology and archeology is heavily depending and based on the E-RGA publications. In my view E-RGA is clearly underestimated and it should be re-assessed at level 2 in our system.

Being myself a scholar of 20th century Western Europe, judging the book series' content is of course impossible for me. With that being said, I would like to point out, however, that I do not feel that the series corresponds to the second part of one the criteria established for nivå 2 that Erik Opsahl mentions, namely that it applies to "publiseringskanaler (...) som (...) utgir de mest betydelige publikasjonene FRA ULIKE LANDS FORSKERE." Given the scholarly field the series is covering, it probably comes as no surprise that it is, quite literally, Germanocentric. While there seem to be some authors from countries other than Germany, their number, according to the website https://www.degruyter.com/serial/rga-erg-b/html, is hardly more than a handful, and most of them are based in German universities. (Also, almost all of the monographs in this series are in German language). More generally, while De Gruyter is of course a most respectable academic publisher, I do not believe it should be on par with other publishers that are consistently ranked as the world's top.
For these reasons, I doubt that the series should be moved up to Nivå 2 — but, as I said, I obviously say this with the important restriction that I do not know the field in question.
