Plagiarism/Advertising[edit]

As was the case at World Policy Institute, this article's advertisement feel derives from plagiarism from WPI-affiliated websites by accounts with little other purpose than to bolster WPI's works and WPJ contributors. Again, non-affiliated sources need to be used and explicitly cited before this article can be restored. Chedorlaomer (talk) 03:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote it almost completely. Articles on journals here may not be copied form the journal web site. Even if copyright permission is given, the material is normally quite unsuitable, being written with adjectives of praise in a elaborate public-relations tone, which is not encyclopedic. I note that it is not a peer-reviewed journal, and therefore by our usual description is an academic magazine, not a journal; I used the appropriate terms, but will need to recheck the categories. The CRS report must be cited directly, and then it will be possible to see how they used the list of articles--this is one of the ways in which such a list may actually be acceptable, though not many journals are able to do it. (most cited articles is another way to do this.) .

Additionally, we do not normally include lists of the entire editorial board or the magazine staff--see WT:WikiProject Academic Journals. We only include the editor in chief. Editors in chief of major publications like this are notable, and it would be good to write articles for the ones who do not already have them. That's a proper approach to take to show the importance of the journal. DGG (talk) 04:45, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
