AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the confusion regarding journal subscriptions and their listings in the Thomson Reuters Master Journal List (MJL). A user expresses curiosity about why a specific journal, linked to Chinese Physics, is not listed as approved by Reuters, despite their university having a subscription. The conversation reveals that the user initially misused the search function on the MJL by searching with "Title Word" instead of "Full Journal Title," which led to difficulties in finding certain journals. The user also inquires about another journal, Nonlinear Biomedical Physics, which is not found on the MJL despite being accessible through their university subscription. The dialogue highlights the challenges of navigating journal listings and the importance of accurate search methods in academic resources.

My University has a subscription to this journal. Not saying it should be Reuter approved, just curious why it's not.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It is: http://admin-apps.isiknowledge.com/JCR/JCR?RQ=RECORD&rank=26&journal=CHINESE+PHYS

Probably because Physics is difficult enough in English as it is.

I see Chinese Physics B, Chinese Physics C and Chinese Physics Letters on the MJL.
 
Weird, I don't know what my problem is

You used this site?

I just tried it again (even tried chinese physics letters in case it didn't accept partials).
 
Ok, I figured out my problem :P I was using "Title Word" instead of "Full Journal Title"

Thanks for the confirmation.
 
Ok, got another one!

I can't find this on the MJL:

It's another one my University is subscribed to (I have access to it online and it identifies my university)
