Notability, third party sources

When considering the suitability of an article on an academic journal, there is a simple test of independent evaluation: has the journal been deemed worthy of allocation of an ISSN. There are very many university, scholarly society and other groups who produce periodicals and apply for ISSNs, yet have the application rejected for various reasons. There are also very many ISSNs allocated to periodicals that would not be deemed academic journals by the academic community.

A more meaningful test of the notability of a journal, which is also independently evaluated, is inclusion in major indexes in its scholarly discipline. Further selection is possible in many cases, because journals are sometimes rated, by impact factor or other criteria.

Tags like the ones I've removed show nothing except that the tagger is unfamiliar with the journal, and with how to make simple checks regarding journals. What would be more helpful is for there to be objective guidelines for required impact factor or other criteria in order to be deemed notable at Wikipedia. If Wikipedia desires articles to be at a high-school kind of level, then it will exclude low impact factor journals in favour of only the most widely known journals. If Wikipedia desires to cover more subject territory and be more reliable, it will include low impact factor journals, particularly in specialist areas.

In any case, AUSS, is very well known in religious studies, which is easily verified by those with genuine interest and basic knowledge regarding journals. Without interest in or basic knowledge about the subject, one wonders what motivates any such tagging editors to declare such things about themselves in tags, which add no information for readers, nor useful help for other editors.
