{{Infobox journal}} can be used to display details about academic journals, as a right-aligned infobox. It can be stacked with other infoboxes. The infoboxJournal.js script can be used to easily add the infobox to articles, as well as standardize existing infoboxes. The script is in development, so make sure to review the suggested presentation before saving.

Usage

Syntax

Simply copy-paste this code in an article and fill it according to the documentation below. Remove hidden notes (both the <!-- and --> characters) that surround certain entries, in order for the data you enter to appear in the published article. Unused parameters may also be removed.

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

{{Infobox journal

|title =	Name of journal (defaults to {{PAGENAMEBASE}}).
|italic title =	Put "no" to override the italic format of the page article title. Setting to "no" also disables the automatic generation of a short description.
|image =	Image of journal's cover (e.g. abc.jpg, xpz.png, 123.gif). Does not need [[File:...]] or [[File:...]].
|image_size =	Size to display image. Defaults to 200px.
|alt =	Alternative text for image.
|caption =	Caption for image, if needed.
|former_name =	Any former name or names of the journal (italicized by default).
|abbreviation =	The ISO 4 abbreviation for journal. Include dots (e.g. J. Phys., not J Phys). If unset, links to find out what the ISO 4 abbreviation is will be displayed. Use |abbreviation=no to hide the field.
|discipline =	Topic of the journal.
|peer-reviewed =	Put no if journal is not peer-reviewed (in which case {{Infobox magazine}} is probably more appropriate). If the situation is complicated, put "See text" and describe it in the text. If the field is blank, omitted, or set to yes, no field is shown, and peer-review status is implied.
|language =	Language of publication if not English. Do not wikilink (per WP:MOS).
|editor =	Name of journal's editor.
|publisher =	Name of publisher. This should be the name of the entity (company, university, society) that performs the actual publishing (marketing, printing, distribution, etc), possibly followed by "on behalf of ...." if there is clear evidence that the journal is owned by another organization (usually a learned society); furthermore, in case there is clear evidence that the journal is co-owned by another organization (including the publisher itself), this information can be followed with "and ..."
|country =	Country of publication, if there is a clear national affiliation. Leave blank for international journals. Do not wikilink (per WP:MOS).
|history =	Publication history, e.g. 1869–present.
|frequency =	Frequency of publication.
|openaccess =	Availability of open-access content, with wikilinks if appropriate (put Yes if journal is completely open-access, or [[Delayed open access journal|Delayed]] or [[Hybrid open access journal|Hybrid]] if more appropriate)
|license =	License for the journal's content if the previous parameter is Yes.
|impact =	Journal's impact factor.
|impact-year =	Year impact factor above was measured, not the year it was published. E.g. the 2016 impact factor was published in 2017, so 2016 goes in the infobox.
|bluebook =	The Bluebook abbreviation for law journal.
|mathscinet =	The MathSciNet abbreviation IF different from ISO 4 abbreviation.
|nlm =	The NLM abbreviation IF different from ISO 4 abbreviation.
|bypass-rcheck =	Set to yes to bypass the built-in ISO 4 / bluebook redirect check until T14019 is resolved. This should only be used after the ISO 4 / bluebook redirects were created, not to get rid of the template messages. See Category:Infobox journals with bypassed redirect checking for more information.
|ISSNlabel =	To distinguish between ISSNs when more than one is given (use in conjunction with ISSN2label, ISSN3label, ... ISSN10label).
|ISSN =	ISSN (print edition) or eISSN if electronic-only journal. If there is more than one journal, such as in European Physical Journal, use additional ISSN2, ISSN3, ... ISSN10 parameters.
|eISSN =	Same as ISSN, but for online version of paper journals. eISSN2, eISSN3, ... eISSN10 supported.
|CODEN =	CODEN.
|coden-linkn=	Since the CODEN database linked to does not contain all CODENs ever used the link can be suppressed using |coden-linkn=no for the corresponding |CODENn=.
|JSTOR =	Journal's JSTOR number (usually its ISSN without the dash; link will be generated automatically).
|LCCN =	LCCN (link will be generated automatically).
|OCLC =	OCLC number (link will be generated automatically).
|website =	URL for journal homepage (see usage below).
|link1 =	First additional link's URL (see below).
|link1-name =	Name for first additional link (see below).
|link2 =	Second additional link's URL (see below).
|link2-name =	Name for second additional link (see below).
|boxwidth =	To set the infobox's width in exceptional circumstances. Use em (i.e. font-proportional) units, e.g. boxwidth&nbsp= 20.0em. Default is 22.0em.

}}

Usage notes

• |title= The infobox displays the journal title at the top, wrapping to keep the infobox narrow. To custom-wrap a long title, insert "^[br]". Otherwise, the title will auto-wrap after all words that fit:

  | title = Canadian Journal of[br]Earth Sciences

• |language= default is "English" but it is possible to put more than one:  language=English, French (etc.)
• |website= Just put the full URL; e.g., https://www.nature.com . This field automatically displays the name "Journal homepage." If you wish to display a different name, or to include additional links, use parameters "link1" & "link1-name" ("link2" etc.). For example, to show "Online access":

  | website = https://www.nature.com
  | link1 = https://www.nature.com/nature/current_issue.html
  | link1-name = Online access

In general, any parameter can be custom-wrapped by inserting a "^[br]" wherever needed.

Sub templates

Main infobox

{{Infobox journal/Bluebook check}}

Checks if a Bluebook redirect exists. If not, prompts editors to create it.

{{Infobox journal/Bluebook preload}}

The suggested content of the Bluebook redirect page.

{{Infobox journal/frequency}}

To populate Category:Academic journals by publication frequency (infobox).

{{Infobox journal/ISO 4 check}}

Checks if an ISO 4 redirect exists. If not, prompts editors to create it.

{{Infobox journal/ISO 4 preload}}

The suggested content of the ISO 4 redirect page.

{{Infobox journal/ISSN-eISSN}}

Used to format the ISSN information.

{{Infobox journal/MathSciNet check}}

Checks if a MathSciNet redirect exists. If not, prompts editors to create it.

{{Infobox journal/MathSciNet preload}}

The suggested content of the MathSciNet redirect page.

{{Infobox journal/NLM check}}

Checks if an NLM redirect exists. If not, prompts editors to create it.

{{Infobox journal/NLM preload}}

The suggested content of the NLM redirect page.

Search links

Put .infobox-journal-search { display: inline !important;} in your CSS file (like this) to enable search links.

{{Infobox journal/Abbreviation search}}

Provides search links for relevant standard abbreviations (ISO 4, Bluebook, MathSciNet, and NLM). It also gives a link to their corresponding databases when possible. Some links need |ISSN/eISSN= to work.

{{Infobox journal/Former check}}

Checks if a former name redirect exists. If not, prompts editors to create it and to verify that standard abbreviation redirects are also created. This is currently experimental, and will only display if you've enabled the search links.

{{Infobox journal/Indexing search}}

Provides a MIAR database search link to verify Abstracting/Indexing information. Needs |ISSN/eISSN= to work.

Other

• {{Infobox journal/sandbox}}
• {{Infobox journal/testcases}}
• {{Infobox journal/wikidata}}
