This academic journal launched on March 21, 2014 and I found several sources that commented on it. I created a section that described this first edition and that highlighted some of the sections. Because the entire first issue is available for free online (and its unsure if futures issues will as well) I linked to specific articles within the journal. If this access ceases, the links will go away and the article will be left with just the articles title. In the meantime, we have the information so I used it.

It's not often that a new academic journal launches and its even rarer that we have full online access to it. Why would anyone object to this as was done by one User? I sincerely hope this has nothing to do with the subject matter. --

• As someone familiar with the academic publishing industry, I can tell you that dozens if not hundreds of new journals are published every year (not even counting the fake "predatory" ones). Also, it is quite usual for a new journal to have the first issue available for free on the net (and this ordinarily is not ephemeral), to give potential readers a foretaste. What is unusual, is describing in detail with lots of links the contents of a single journal issue here on WP. This is generally considered promotional, so please do not restore that content again. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 18:46, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Wonderful, so we have someone that is an expert. How should this article be setup and what kinds of content should we be looking for? Which are the better articles about academic journals that we should be emulating? Please share your knowledge... :) --

• The Academic Journals banner at the top of this page has a link to our
  reliable sources is admissible. Whether or not to include such info is up to editorial discretion and judgment (clearly, we never could include all reliable sources on, say, Barack Obama or Michael Jackson, so the mere existence of a reliable source does not mean that it must be included, just that it can be included). Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 15:05, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply

• Yes, tremendously, thank you! And to your point about what to include, I could not agree more. I have a quote attesting to that exact sentiment at the top of my

• Have a look at
  predatory open access publishing... --Randykitty (talk) 16:27, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply

• Wow, I knew that the academic community has its fair share of "scams" and such, but that is shameful. That's as bad (if not worse, actually) as the idiots who take articles from here and then publish them as ebooks for sale on Amazon. Thank you again... --
