Journal of Injury and Violence Research

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Obscure journal published by an Iranian university. No secondary sources so much as mention this journal. If Google Scholar is to be believed, nobody has ever cited any article to appear in this journal. Deleted by prod and recreated.

 * Weak Delete It might squeak by under Notability (academic journals) because it is indexed at Index Copernicus . It claims (at its website) to be indexed at Index Medicus for the Eastern Mediterranean Region but I couldn't find it there. It is also listed at Google Scholar but its articles get few or no citations. I don't think that's enough. --MelanieN (talk) 18:00, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete does not meet the Notability as there is not significant coverage outside of directory listings. Notability (academic journals) is an essay rather than a guideline and does need careful reading its not just whether its listed its the "impact factor" which is important and none of the references seem to establish that.--Salix (talk): 20:49, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
