Why you should contribute
KI-JL is a living document and is updated annually. The purpose of a level-graded journal list is, among other things, to
- support you as a researcher when assessing the quality of journals before publishing, undertaking peer review assignments or taking on editorial roles.
- create a shared process and an ongoing discussion at KI about journal quality and developments in scholarly publishing.
- serve as an indicator of journal quality in the performance-based component of KI’s resource allocation model.
The consultation period is open from 10 November 2026 to 10 January 2027, and you as a KI employee or affiliated to KI are welcome to contribute!
