I am a PhD-student at NTNU who currently writes a Scientific paper for the Journal of Physiotherapy (Australia), which I hereby suggest as a Level 2 journal at NSD. Below I reason why. At the end I also add a note on the localization of physiotherapy or physical therapy journals within NSD overview of subjects.
• Journal of Physiotherapy is an Elsevier publisher journal, registered in PubMed, and offers open access for all papers being financially supported by the Australian Physiotherapy Association. Its impact factors for 2017 for 1 year and 5 years were 4.08 and 4.6, respectively.
However, in the Norwegian Centre for Research Data, NSD, database, it is only registered as a level 1 publication channel. Their main competitors, the British and American physiotherapy associations affiliated journals, are both registered in NSD as level 2 publication channels.
These are:
• Physiotherapy Journal, UK, Elsevier publisher, supported by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, an hybrid prescription and paid open access journal. Its impact factors for 2017 for 1 year and 5 years were 3.0 and 2.09, respectively.
• Physical Therapy, USA, Oxford University Press, supported by the American Physical Therapy Association, a hybrid prescription and paid open access journal. Its impact factors for 2017 for 1 year and 5 years were 2.8 and 2.09, respectively.
At NTNU, our institutional policy is to financially support only pure open access journal, for which NTNU has a fund reimbursing researcher’s fees given by (most) pure open access journals. However, this prohibits Norwegian researchers financial reimbursement for publishing in
journal like Physiotherapy and Physical Therapy presented above. Even more important, by choosing Journal of Physiotherapy, although researchers achieve open access, their institutions are left with lower credit by the Norwegian publication system (than if they choose a level 2 publication channel). Thus, I wonder:
• Why is Journal of physiotherapy a Level 1 publication channel and its main competitor level 2 in the Norwegian publication system, although the first performs better than the others on impact factors?
• What does it take for Journal of Physiotherapy to become a level 2 publication channel?
• Which National Advisory Board should receive my suggestion to upgrade Journal of Physiotherapy to a level 2 publication channel? The links to National Advisory Board for Medicine and Health from the University Norway (UHRs) webpage, seems not to be working.
Notably, at UHR, it seems that the physiotherapy subject's National Advisory Board is Nasjonalt fagorgan for utdanning og forskning innen fysioterapi, and that this is headed by Oversikt over ledere for de nasjonale fagorganene for utdanning og forskning innen helse- og sosialfag.
Maybe, at NSD, clinical physiotherapy journals could better be headed under Medicine and health than "Social"? Cf. https://npi.nsd.no/fagfeltoversikt/fagfelt?id=1060
Please feed back to me that comment is registered, when there will be an decision and the outcome on the latter.
