Draft:Occupational Health Science (journal)

  • Comment: Firstly, the referencing is a bit of a mess. Please see WP:REFB for advice on correct referencing using inline citations and footnotes structured in the usual manner.
    Secondly, the sources are all primary, and therefore insufficient for establishing notability per WP:GNG. If special WP:NJOURNALS notability is being claimed instead, please provide clear evidence of how this journal meets one of the three criteria. Note that we need not just assertions, but actual evidence of this: eg. the draft states that this journal is indexed by Scopus, but I find nothing to support that; similarly, an impact factor of 3.1 is claimed, but this is only given by the publisher's own website (and even then, isn't actually cited, so I had to go and look for it myself).
    Especially given the earlier and fairly recent AfD discussion which resulted in deletion, for this draft to be accepted the journal must be shown to be clearly notable. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:38, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
Yes, the journal was deleted ten months ago; I, however, recently became aware of the journal's higher impact factor. Over the six years of its existence, the impact factor grew to 3.1. I also read a complaint about the impact factor on my talk page, namely, that the impact factor comes from the journal itself. That complaint is off the mark. To find out the impact of any journal, an editor has to go to the publisher's journal site. That is what I did. That would apply to the journal Occupational Health Psychology or to Psychological Review. I have no reason to believe that Springer would falsify the impact factor.
I also read a complaint about the style of the references. The references are in the style of the American Psychological Association. WP allows editors to use the style of the discipline to which the topic is aligned. Occupational Health Science, although trans-disciplinary, is mostly aligned with the discipline known as occupational health psychology and is supported by the Society for Occupational Health Psychology. The APA style of the references is, therefore, satisfactory.
Regarding primary vs. secondary sources, Tetrick et al.'s Handbook is a secondary source. The National Library of Medicine is a secondary source, a document that informs readers what journals are indexed by PubMed and Medline. The entry for the journal should be maintained. Give it time, the entry will grow.
I think it is premature to take a hatchet to the entry after the impact factor shows that the journal has grown in significance. Iss246 (talk) 20:03, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
@Randykitty:, I see you're the AfD nominator in the AfDs in the prior versions of this article. I've previously edited on SOHP article which was the redirect target of one of the earlier iterations of article on this journal. This draft was submitted for creation again and the creator indicates "impact factor grew to 3.1". Maybe you could comment if there's been development in the journal suggesting elevated notability since the AfD in March? Graywalls (talk) 04:52, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
