Reviews and Advances in Chemistry

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG." Article dePRODded with reason "some articles are indexed by CAS, I think this warrants a discussion at Afd if there is concern about notability." CAS is not a selective database in the sense of NJournals, so PROD reason still stands. Hence: delete.

 * Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Academic journals-related deletion discussions. Randykitty (talk) 03:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete although the journal has been around since 2011, it hasn't been included in any valued databases (like, Scopus and Web of Science). Hence, it fails WP:NJournals. ~ Nanosci (talk) 00:46, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The journal corresponds Criterion 2 2b) of WP:NJournals: finding citations to the journal are possible via bibliographic databases and citation indices, such as general services like Google Scholar or field-specific services like  Chemical Abstracts. If a journal meets at list one of  the criteria of  WP:NJournals it qualifies for a stand-alone article. It is suggested to decline deletion: the main principles of WP:NJournals should be taken into account. Yashin-n (talk) 13:55, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: Any journal will have a smattering of citations, that is to be expected even from low-quality predatory journals. There's no indication that this goes beyond that. --Randykitty (talk) 09:44, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment: The indexing services covering it are listed here (bottom of page). I don't know which ones count as "Selective" - I thought CAS was, so am clearly out of my depth. Pam  D  09:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't believe so - AFAIK they list anything and everything with a "chemical" tag in a published journal. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:00, 5 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete based on our standard indexing criterion. Here is the list of indexes stated by the journal:
 * Baidu
 * CLOCKSS
 * CNKI
 * CNPIEC
 * Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
 * Dimensions
 * EBSCO Discovery Service
 * Google Scholar
 * Japanese Science and Technology Agency (JST)
 * Naver
 * OCLC WorldCat Discovery Service
 * Portico
 * ProQuest-ExLibris Primo
 * ProQuest-ExLibris Summon
 * Semantic Scholar
 * TD Net Discovery Service
 * WTI AG
 * Wanfang
 * - I'm not familiar with all of them, but none of the names we generally look for are in this list. (I'm guessing "Baidu" is Baidu's equivalent to Scholar...) -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:56, 5 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete I'd suggest a redirect to Pleiades Publishing, but since that doesn't exist, deletion is the way to go. I will note here that Pleiades Publishing journals have often a Russian history, which often makes it worth looking for Russian sources on the subject, but I don't speak Russian. &#32; Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 10:06, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
