Deprodding
[edit]I plan to deprod this article as the journal appears to indexed in SCOPUS, which according the WP:NJournals suggests that the journal is notable. The journal has a SCOPUS Sourcerecord id of 5700165211 in the latest list of SCOPUS journals at Scopus - SciVerse title list (xls file) --Mark viking (talk) 20:25, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking that. I have the old version of Office and cannot open the title list (too large to be converted...) --Randykitty (talk) 11:41, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
- It is a big file. I was able to open it with Gnumeric. --Mark viking (talk) 16:15, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
- 2004-2006 was covered in the ADSABS database. Not really sure why coverage stopped. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 12:18, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- Mark and Headbomb, how come you two read the Scopus reference differently? If it is not in Scopus, then what is the evidence for notability, if any? --Randykitty (talk) 16:18, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- Headbomb added that the journal was indexed in the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) from 2004-2006. As far as I know ADS and Scopus are independent entities, so there is no conflict here. But perhaps I misunderstood your question. --Mark viking (talk) 17:15, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, it's indeed a bit confusing. I was referring to the fact that he removed the mention of the Scopus listing that you added and said in his edit summary that the reference didn't support the listing. --Randykitty (talk) 17:51, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not saying it's not in Scopus. I'm saying the webpage that was given as a reference ([1]) did not support the claim. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 18:55, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
- I've now installed Gnumeric (thanks for the tip, Mark!) If I understand correctly, Headbomb's only problem was the sourcing. I'll re-add Scopus with (hopefully) a more appropriate reference. --Randykitty (talk) 08:07, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

- It's somewhat of a shame we can't find better sources, the peer-review quality in this journal seems very uneven... I haven't looked much, but no one seems to have noticed this. I don't know how widespread this is, but that Sorli guy... well let's just say he uses viXra [2]. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 11:36, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
- Don't disagree, this really is borderline. But listing in Scopus meets WP:NJournals, although I have to say that I find Scopus becoming less and less selective, including quite a lot of shady, questionable journals (the current journal being one of them). --Randykitty (talk) 13:09, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Does EJTP still exist?
[edit]This article needs updating. Out of curiosity I visited this article and followed the link to the journal's official site. The only thing there is the home page of on online course in theoretical physics. At the bottom of each page is a list of "clients", many of which offer to write your lab reports or resume, or seem to be guides to online gambling sites. Sketchy?

- Hi, I just encountered the same thing. Per Wayback Machine, the ejtp.com domain expired sometime around Oct. 2023. Since then, the domain has been in use by some other entity, apparently unrelated to Electronic Journal of Theoretical Physics. This "other" EJTP seems to be based in Augusta, Georgia, USA, and I agree, it seems shady, as the website never even identifies the name of this (other) organization. At the minimum, I think we should update the link in the Wikipedia article, to point to the WebArchive last-known-good capture of the (original) EJTP website, in 2023.
- Also, the original ejtp.com website linked to majoranaprize.com, also expired. We might provide an archived capture for that page too, listing the awards through 2012. Harris7 (talk) 14:52, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- I made the above 2 changes. Note that the CODEN link for "EJTPBC" from the infobox displays a CAS Source Index entry that says "Discontinued Serial". So it is pretty clear that the journal is no longer published, and it seems likely the Majorana Award has ended as well. Harris7 (talk) 13:57, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
