Swedish List discontinued

Since 2019, the Swedish Research Council has complied the annual Swedish List, a register of peer-reviewed journals in Swepub – the database for scientific publications at Swedish higher education institutions. As from this year, we are discontinuing this register.

“The purpose of the Swedish List was to highlight journals with good peer review. But as it has now become ever more difficult to assess the quality of the peer review, we are now discontinuing this work. The purpose is lost if we cannot safeguard the quality,” sayd Anders Weström, Manager of the Research Policy Analysis and Evaluation Unit at the Swedish Research Council.

The assessment of a journal’s peer review was based on other Nordic lists, Web of Science, and the Swedish Research Council’s own assessment.
