Scholarly Outlet Files that can be uploaded into FAR

Each institution is responsible for uploading their own scholarly outlet data, but Interfolio provides the following scholarly outlet files that can be uploaded into FAR:

  • journal_abbreviation_ISSN.csv (contains a list of scholarly outlets, the scholarly outlet abbreviations, and the ISSNs)
  • journal_and_metrics.csv (contains a list of scholarly outlets and corresponding metrics) 
  • proceeding_conference_abbreviation_ISSN.csv (contains a list of conference proceedings, the abbreviations, and the ISSNs)
  • proceeding_conference_and_metrics.csv (contains a list of conference proceedings and corresponding metrics)
 
 

Files to download

 

Note that this is a complimentary service, and therefore the accuracy of the data in these files is not guaranteed. In addition, it is not guaranteed that the data in these files will be maintained; therefore, institutions are responsible for the maintenance of their own scholarly outlet data.

 

Uploading Scholarly outlet lists and metrics to FAR is a two-part process. Note that Scholarly Outlet Lists and Metrics must be uploaded as separate files, and Scholarly Outlet Lists must be uploaded prior to uploading Scholarly Outlet Metrics.
