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. Randykitty (talk) 03:06, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• 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)[reply]

  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)[reply]

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)[reply]

• Keep. An Editorial board of highly reputable scientists from across the world, including many highly cited (e.g. Valery Fokin >48,000 h-78 https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=P7ep2L8AAAAJ), Yuri Gogotsi >184,000 h=195 https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=Tobmw7EAAAAJ, Alexander Kabanov >44,000 h=107 https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=PTouqvoAAAAJ&hl=en, Vadim Gladyshev >43,000 h=116 https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&user=CosBFrUAAAAJ ) The full list of the editors at Springer website https://www.springer.com/journal/13392/editors Lacyhaviz (talk) 04:02, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• 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. PamD 09:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

• 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)[reply]

• 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.
