Arthur,
thanks for the hint!
You may also have a look to the EZB (Elektronische
Zeitschriftendatenbank = Electronic Journal Database) which
comprises a list of 45.344 journal titels (mostly scientific).
22.459 scientific journals are available online, about 5000
from them are online only. The list is set up by more than 500
libraries, mainly from Germany and run by the University
Regensburg Library. They got several awards for this service.

For both, your list and this service, it would be highly
interesting not only to have the ranking according to
scientific value, but also to have a simple classification (not
more than 5 options!) concerning the open access policy.
Together with a webservice where articles can be checked
automatically this would be a really helpful service for
repositories. Maybe a field for cooperation? Contact person for
the EZB is Albert Schroeder

Best regards,
Guenter

The Australian Research Council has released a list
of journals that will be used in its metric
evaluation of Australian university research. The
list is currently unranked and provided for
university review, as these ?rankings? are in
process of finalization and will be available
towards the end of the year (split into categories
of A*, A, B and C in the ratios 5:15:30:50). The
list does not contain a discipline classification
either, and this will accompany the rankings at
the end of the year.
To view the list see
http://www.arc.gov.au/era/journal_title_list.htm.
Follow the link to download an Excel spreadsheet.
Each ?journal must have an ISSN and be a
peer-reviewed, scholarly journal published during
the ERA reference period? to be included.
Readers who are interested in the number of
research journals in the world may find this
spreadsheet useful as a lower bound. Similarly for
those writing spiders and screen scrapers. The list
was drawn up in consultation with Australian
scholarly societies. It comprises 16734 journals
covering many countries, though dominantly in
English. It was drawn up for Australian university
research evaluation and hence its coverage of
languages other than English is selective and
perhaps discipline-specific. The list will be
updated fortnightly.
