Proposed Changes

edit
Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello!

We have some edit requests, listed below. Please let me know if I can provide rationale, additional information, etc.!

Bolded text indicates additions/edits to text.

---

Summary

  1. Request: Could the third sentence be edited to read: “The journal is part of the Science Family of Journals, of which Holden Thorp is the Editor-in-Chief.”?
  2. Reason: For context -The Science journals have an overall Editor in Chief (Holden Thorp), but each journal is then managed by individual Editors, who we prefer not to list.
  3. Link: https://www.science.org/content/page/leadership-and-management#HoldenThorp


  1. Request: Could we move the last sentence regarding the Impact Factor from the end of the “Abstracting and Indexing” section to the end of the “Summary” section?
  2. Reason: We are trying to standard this across the Science family of journals.


  1. Request: Please update the sentence with Immunology’s 2022 Impact Factor: “According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2022 impact factor of 24.8.“
  2. Reason: The current number is outdated.
  3. Link: https://jcr.clarivate.com/jcr-jp/journal-profile?journal=SCI%20IMMUNOL&year=2022&fromPage=%2Fjcr%2Fsearch-results


Scope

  1. Request: Please add a “Scope” section.
  2. Reason: We are trying to standard this across the Science family of journals.


  1. Request: If appropriate, the following text could be used: “The journal publishes research in all areas of immunology, including new tools and techniques, and studies on all model organisms, including humans. Areas covered include the biology of innate and adaptive immunity, immune cell development and differentiation, immunogenomics, systems immunology, structural immunology, antigen presentation, immunometabolism, and mucosal immunology. The journal also accepts research related to immune contributions to health and disease, including host defense, inflammation, cancer immunology, autoimmunity, allergy, transplantation, and immunodeficiency.” Alternatively: “The journal publishes research in all areas of immunology and studies on all model organisms, including humans. Areas covered include the biology of innate and adaptive immunity, immune cell development and differentiation, immunogenomics, systems immunology, structural immunology, antigen presentation, immunometabolism, and mucosal immunology. The journal also accepts research related to immune contributions to health and disease.”

See Also

  1. Request: Could a “See Also” section be added, with the following links? AAAS Publications (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Association_for_the_Advancement_of_Science#Publications) Science (Journal) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_(journal)) List of Scientific Journals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scientific_journals)
  2. Reason: We are trying to standardize this across journal pages.


External Links

  1. Request: Could an “External Links” section be added, with a link to the journal’s official website? Official Website (https://www.science.org/journal/sciimmunol)
  2. Reason: We are trying to standardize this across journal pages.


Right Rail

  1. Request: Would it be possible to update the cover image used in the right rail? We can provide a higher-resolution image, if so.


  1. Request: Please update “Edited by” to Holden Thorp.
  2. Reason: We are aiming to make this consistent across the journal pages.


  1. Request: Could the publisher be updated to read “American Association for the Advancement of Science (United States)”?
  2. Reason: We are aiming to make this consistent across the journal pages.


  1. Request: Please add the LCCN: 202016201474
  2. Reason: We are aiming to standardize the set of information presented in the right rail for each journal.


  1. Request: Please update the OCLC number: 939920841
  2. Reason: This is the correct OCLC number.

   Unable to review  

  • Your edit request could not be reviewed because the provided references are not formatted correctly.[a] The citation style predominantly used by the Science Immunology article is Citation Style 1 (CS1). The citation style used in the edit request consists of bare URL's.[b] Any requested edit of yours which may be implemented will need to resemble the current style already in use in the article – in this case, CS1. (See WP:CITEVAR.) In the extended section below titled Citation style, I have illustrated two examples: one showing how the edit request was submitted, and another showing how requests should be submitted in the future:
Citation style
Bare URL reference formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.[3]

References

1. https://www.booksource.com
2. http://www.journalsource.com
3. http://www.websource.com

In the example above there are three URL's provided with the claim statements, but these URL's have not been placed using Citation Style 1, which is the style predominantly used by the Science Immunology article. Using this style, the WikiFormatted text should resemble the following:

Citation Style 1 formatting:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,<ref>{{cite book|last1=Sjöblad|first1=Tristan|title=The Sun|url=http://www.booksource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=1}}</ref> while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Harinath|first1=Prisha|title=Size of the Moon|journal=Science|issue=78|volume=51|url=http://www.journalsource.com|date=2020|page=46}}</ref> The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Uemura|first1=Shu|title=The Sun's Heat|url=http://www.websource.com|publisher=Academic Press|date=2020|page=2}}</ref>

Which displays as:

The Sun's diameter is 864,337 miles,[1] while the Moon's diameter is 2,159 miles.[2] The Sun's temperature is 5,778 Kelvin.[3]

References

  1. ^ Sjöblad, Tristan. The Sun. Academic Press, 2020, p. 1.
  2. ^ Harinath, Prisha. (2020). "Size of the Moon", Science, 51(78):46.
  3. ^ Uemura, Shū. The Sun's Heat. Academic Press, 2020, p. 2.

In the example above the references have been formatted according to Citation Style 1, which shows the author, the source's name, date, etc., all information which is lost when only the links are provided. As Wikipedia is a volunteer project, edit requests such as yours are generally expected to have this formatting done before the request is submitted for review.

Kindly resubmit the edit request below at your earliest convenience, taking care to ensure that it makes use of CS1. If you have any questions about this formatting please don't hesitate to ask myself or another editor. Additionally, the COI editor is invited to disclose the nature of their COI on their talk page per WP:COIDISCLOSE. Regards,  Spintendo  22:50, 23 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Notes

  1. ^ The fault for this formatting error may have originated with the automated prompts used by the edit request template, which asks for a COI editor to "supply the URL of any references used". While the resulting omission of information would not be the fault of the requesting COI editor, it nevertheless remains their responsibility to supply the references formatted in the style used by the article.
  2. ^ The use of bare URLs as references is a style which is acceptable for use in Wikipedia. However, general practice dictates that the style already in use for an article be the one that is subsequently used for all future additions unless changed by editorial consensus.[1]

References

  1. ^ "WP:CITEVAR - Wikipedia:Citing sources". Wikipedia. 20 October 2018. Retrieved 22 October 2018. Guideline: It is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor or adopted by the consensus of editors already working on the page, unless a change in consensus has been achieved. If the article you are editing is already using a particular citation style, you should follow it.
