Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Academic Journals. This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Academic Journals related articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
Category:Academic Journal articles by quality serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WPJournals}} project banner. Filling in a rating in the class parameter of the {{WPJournals}} template on the talk page of an article causes the name of that article to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Academic Journal articles by quality.
The following system is based on the general criteria for assessing how close we are to a distribution-quality article on a particular topic. The system is based on a letter scheme which reflects principally how complete the article is, though the content and language quality are also factors. Once an article reaches the A-Class, it is considered "complete", although edits will continue to be made.
