“This result is brought about by a consistent publishing policy, strict double-blind peer review of articles and selection of material corresponding to the topic, and the work of the editor-in-chief Irina Aizikova and executive secretary Vera Bal,” comments Inna Tubalova, dean of the TSU Faculty of Philology. “It is also important to note the impact of Dmitry Katunin, executive editor of ‘TSU Journal of Philology’, who inspired the faculty to publish specialized journals and actively participated in the process.”
Published since 2012, the journal “Text. Book. Publishing.” unites editors, publishers, and researchers who are interested in theoretical questions of texts, book culture, and the sociology of reading. TSU Faculty of Philology publishes four journals in total: the leader “TSU Journal of Philology” (Vestnik Tomskogo Gosudarstvennogo Universiteta, Filologiya), which has maintained its position in Q1 for several years, as well as the unique “Imagology and Comparative Studies” (climbed to Q2 last year), and “Russian Journal of Lexicography” (Q3).
Inna Tubalova explains that they had begun working on the journal’s ranking even before the journal was published: they thought the concept through and analyzed the demand for such content in academia. The ranking takes into account the general level of the faculty’s research and their reputation, which attracts the reviewers who are key experts in their area.
Today, Scopus consists of nearly 22,000 journals, plus monographs and conference proceedings. Each journal has to be reviewed by experts to see whether the quality of the scientific content meets the high criteria and standards of the database. After inclusion, every journal receives a quartile ranging from Q1 to Q4, based on the number of citations by other articles published in journals also included in Scopus, compared to the other journals in its category and time period. The Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) shows the status of every journal based on the number of citations in a given time period.
According to the SJR in 2021 for journals indexed in Scopus, TSU Journal for Mathematics and Mechanics also improved its position, moving from Q3 to Q2.TSU journals quartiles for 2021 according to SJR.
