Add journals supporting the submission and publication of peer-reviewed digital preservation content

[ross-spencer]

I started a PR but then I didn't have enough info about what to do about regenerating the contents (preferred method) and so just in case such a change requires more conversation:

There are a lot of journals that support digital preservation related content, but they're not all easy to find for someone hoping to publish.

• iPRES publication index: https://www.digipres.org/publications/
• IJDCC: https://www.ijdc.net/index.php/ijdc
• Preservation Digital Culture and Technology: https://www.degruyter.com/journal/key/pdtc/html
• Archival Science: https://link.springer.com/journal/10502
• Code4Lib: https://journal.code4lib.org/
• Archives and Manuscripts: https://www.archivists.org.au/learning-publications/archives-and-manuscripts

These are the ones that come to mind. More inspiration might come from Micky's Zenodo set, but first getting a section would be helpful.

There's Archives and Records too https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/cjsa21 (Journal of the Archives and Records Association - UK and Irish archivists' society)

• OD - vakblad voor de informatieprofessional bij de overheid (Royal Dutch Association of Information Professionals)
• JLSC Journal of Librarianship and Scholoarly Communication
• International Journal of Library and Information Science
• Information Technology and Libraries
• IASSIST Quarterly

NB. maybe such a section could separate by language, e.g. Dutch, German.

NB. collected these by hand. I think maybe there is a user-level key restriction on collections by default in Zotero, and might be able to ask Ethan to consider setting the collection to be open for use via API (not sure on the mechanics though, different 500 errors for combos of URI like curl "https://api.zotero.org/users/ethan-gates/items/ERZIYJ3T?v=3&format=csv"

Hmm, not sure how best to proceed with this. Having a list of focussed/high-yield journals seems reasonable, but as we can see, with digital preservation being so interdisciplinary in nature, papers can turn up anywhere.

One of the things I'm intending to do before the end of my current project is add support for pulling in Zotero collections (like Ethan's) and merging them into the publications index database (the one that only has iPRES in it at present). Perhaps this is better done as a visualisation or view projected out of that dataset, rather than a secondary list we need to maintain?

[ross-spencer]

Ack, I should probably have added more context for clarity. Drawing the publication names out of the Zenodo and Zotero was largely informative.

My primary opinion is to use the awesome-list guiding principle that links should be "awesome" and so definitely nothing exhaustive here. A list of focused/high-yield journals would be a good start and I feel hugely beneficial to those trying to publish or do literature reviews. Maintenance is just about folks adding to those over time with context to say why something is beneficial in the list.

And yes, any projections out of future datasets would be cool to see as well. It's good to make clear the breadth of digipres related content here.
