Important notice for publishers and editors

Though you may also be an Academic, please note that when providing feedback about a journal that you edit or publish it is of crucial importance for us that you identify yourself as Editor/Publisher in the feedback form, not as an Academic.

Previewing the ERIH feedback form

The following documents have been made available so interested parties can preview the questions that are contained in the ERIH feedback form.

The ERIH feedback form asks for some information about the identity of the person who is filling out the form (i.e. whether they are Editors, Publishers or in a University). Depending on which option is chosen, an individual has more or less obligatory fields to fill out. For example, somebody working in a University can answer 'Don't know' to the question: 'Percentage of journal subscriptions from outside the publishing country' but a publisher is asked to choose one of a number of figure ranges.  

To enable people to preview relevant questions before entering the feedback mechanism proper the following forms can now be downloaded:

The term 'initial list' has been chosen to indicate that this is the first stage in the establishment of categorised lists of good research journals for the Humanities. It is expected that further rounds of feedback and structured stakeholder involvement will lead to further fine tuning of the lists.

For that purpose the ERIH team has set up a structured online feedback procedure to enable Researchers, Editors, Publishers and all other interested parties to provide input to be taken in consideration at the first update (in 2008).  To access the feedback form please click here: feedback procedure.
