Talk:List of psychology journals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] merger

There is also a List of scientific journals in psychology, much less complete than this one,; since List of scientific ... has become the standard wording for other subjects, I intend to merge this into there. Any objections? DGG 03:09, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I would only oppose it IF it led to the EXCLUSION of any of these journals if people started debating what counts as 'scientific'. I would hate to see everything that's not pure behaviorism relgated to a list of pseudo-scientific journals. B. Mistler 09:09, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

It seems a bit like merging that list, which is less complete, into this one, and turning that one into a redirect, makes more sense. OcciMoron 16:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ramble

I am the editor of Journal of Research Practice (JRP), which has been listed here. I was hoping someone would create a WP page for JRP. Then I decided to take the plunge and create it myself--my first ever WP page, Journal of Research Practice. Reading through the copious instructions, conventions, warnings, and suggestions from WP was tiring, but somewhere it made perfect sense. I was not daunted. Finally, it was a delight to see my contribution appear in WP. Being an advocate of open access publishing, I am actually feeling attracted to WP. To end the ramble: Thank you David Goodman.

[edit] Merging done

I merged List of scientific journals in psychology into this list. Here's a copy of my comment from that talk page:


I merged List of scientific journals in psychology into List of psychology journals instead of merging list of psychology journals into list of scientific journals in psychology. I did this for a couple reasons:

  • Determining "scientific" vs "non-scientific" is problematic; what to do with organization magazines, etc?
  • It looks like "list of scientific journals..." and "list of journals..." are about equally used.
  • List of psychology journals was much larger, and thus the merge was easier the other way around.

Of course if folks disagree, then a simple copy & paste and rdr could move the content back to list of scientific journals in psychology. But for now, at least the lists are together. I won't redirect this talk page. -- phoebe/(talk) 20:31, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
