. PERIODICALS: ACADEMIC JOURNALS: Academic Journal Improvement and Quality IssuesThere are several factors that are very important in the evaluation of the quality of academic journals sponsored or published at colleges or universities. These factors are also important considerations in efforts to improve them.
The importance and academic standing of the college or university at which the journal is produced or edited.
The ability to attract high profile or academically important authors whose writing will be sought after.
The attention articles published in a journal receive from other writers and especially the use of these articles as cited references in the works of other writers.
The ability of a journal to publish articles about topics and issues that are very important and of high interest to academicians in the subject areas the journal covers.
With these thoughts, these are some selected publications that discuss academic journals.
Journals are much more visible if indexed, abstracted and carried full text in databases and journal aggregation services, the more indexing tools covering a journal and the more important these indexes, the more findable the content of highly indexed titles to scholars and researchers.
It is critically important to have a pricing, marketing, online access and distribution model that assures financial success and sustainability.

I appreciate you, you perform a good and also a hard work. I have a problem. On the web I searched but couldn't get a proper resource for evaluating the value of a journal. I am in charge of the co-editor position of the HOSTEUR magazine (http://www.chrie.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3391) I want to increase its readability and popularity among its proposed readers. I would be very happy if you could share any information if you have on your hand on the subject of evaluation of journals. Many thanks in advance for your kind helps.
