I will continue to do some adjusting of the format. I apologize I had to leave it in the middle. We try to avoid unnecessary links to countries, because of the number of such links. Be careful to avoid all statements of how good, important or prestigious the society is, unless you have an actual third party source for them. .

What you could no most usefully do is add a section for information about the society's journal. Include a list of editors in chief; link them, because editing a major journal, just like being president of a society, is considered to make someone notable enough for there to be an article. Let me judge later if it will be suitable to move it to a separate article--it depends primarily on where it is indexed

Based on what is generally accepted here, an article or section about a journal should contain:

Full titles, any earlier titles, and the corresponding dates. Make cross references from any variant titles.
Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
availability on line
no. of articles published a year
ISSNs for both print and online versions
Online availability of current and earlier issues
Open access availability, if relevant.
Circulation (sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs)
coverage in major standard indexes, inclding particularly Scopus and Web of Science (Science Citation Index)
latest year's impact factor if available, and rank in the JCR subject field(s). Include the year so it can be updated.
any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
External links to the journal's main web site, and , if relevant, the main website of the sponsoring body.
The name and affiliation of the editor in chief, and all previous editor-in chief, with dates. ; since being the editor of a major journal is considered notable, an article can also be written about them. But we do not include other staff, or the editorial board.

It should not contain

General information listing all the fields covered, unless it is not obvious from the title
Statements of praise for the journal -- see WP:PEACOCK
A list of those on the editorial board
names of the staff, except editors in chief; subordinate or section editors should not usually be listed.
Information about subscription prices
Information about how to submit articles
Links to the publisher's general website, or to subpages within the journal's site.
and, most important, it must contain no text from the web page description of the journal. That is a copyright violation, and needs to be rewritten. Even if you are prepared to donate copyright according to WP:DCM, it is likely to be unsuitably promotional.

for more specific information our Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. As it specifies there, one good way to start is by using the infobox journal template; but also convert the information there to prose. DGG ( talk ) 22:02, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I will work on that.--Lorne McGregor (talk) 22:23, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
