Ranking of Journals

Here we have collected different services that help you find information about scholarly publishing channels.

Norway's national scientific database (a.k.a 'the Norwegian list') 

"The Norwegian list" - or The Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers - is a funding allocation system built on the categorization of journals, series and publishers, which in turn can be used for evaluating journals. Expert panels award channels a scientific level (1) or a highly prestigious scientific level (2).

Tip: Use the drop-down menu "Subject area".
