Talk:East/West: Journal of Ukrainian Studies

Notability

This was tagged for notability, so here are some sources that didn't make it into the article. Also, although this likely passes GNG, it also likely passes WP:TEXTBOOK and/or WP:NJOURNAL for being highly cited by other academic publications.

  • A handful of citations or in-passing mentions is not what I understand as "highly cited". None of the above links contribute in the slightest to notability. I'll restore the tag. Please don't remove it again until notability really has been established. --Randykitty (talk) 18:53, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
    • @Randykitty: The sources above were meant to show it likely passes GNG, as I said in my edit summary - in what seems obvious to me, this was not my attempt to show this journal is highly cited.
      Since it's a niche journal (English-language Ukrainian studies journal, that frequently focuses on Canadian-Ukrainian history) that is now defunct, I'm assuming it doesn't really rank (or likely is even indexed in the first place) on indices. So I apologize for not specifying - by saying "highly cited", I meant it's highly cited within its field (the journal isn't largely applicable outside of its niche topic), and that is viewable on Google Books if you search "Journal of Ukrainian Graduate Studies".
      Since you stated the above sources do not "contribute in the slightest to notability", I'll be more specific with my sources below. However, I'll try to summarize and only copy a short section of each text so that this stays away from violating copyright:
      • Re-imagining Ukrainian Canadians: History, Politics, and Identity (from above) has a lengthy paragraph overview of what the journal's articles were focusing on, and a couple of other short mentions about the journal. It also lists (on page 7) the journal, along with several others, as an early journal to publish scholarship on Ukrainian-Canadian history:
        (Page 10) The other major collection planned for the centennial year (though not published until 1993) was a special edition of Journal of Ukrainian Studies. Again, Ukrainians were being considered in new ways. The chronological focus was on the vastly understudied interwar period, and several of the articles signalled the development of new scholarly interest. To begin with, the arts and popular culture were examined in a new context...
        (Page 17) Journal of Ukrainian Studies was launched in the 1970s as Journal of Ukrainian Graduate Studies; a number of those who would become influential in the field were first published in the latter.
      • A Heritage in Transition (from above) has at least a paragraph on the journal, including an example of an essay in the journal:
        (Page 315) In 1976, the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies first published the Journal of Ukrainian Graduate Studies as an outlet for graduate student opinion, discussion, and research. Although issues to date have favoured Ukrainian studies per se, they have carried articles about Ukrainian Canadians. The two-part essay by Orest Martynowych, "The Ukrainian Social Movement in Canada 1900-1918," examined the evolution of Ukrainian-Canadian socialism from its roots in the Ukrainian Radical…
      • Gathering a Heritage has two paragraphs mentioning the journal, and compares it against other Ukrainian studies works/journals:
        (Page 140) ...whereas the monograph series tended to promote the works of established Ukrainian historians such as Ivan Rudnytsky, the institute’s periodical, the Journal of Ukrainian Studies, featured the work of younger scholars such as Stephen Velychenko, John Paul Himka, and Thomas M. Prymak. From its very first years (1976ff.), the Journal of Ukrainian Studies tended to attract Ukrainian historians who were primarily concerned with the modern period.
        (Page 150) These journals, the Cambridge-based Harvard Ukrainian Studies and the Toronto-based Journal of Ukrainian Studies, marked a major shift in Ukrainian studies in the West, which now was carried on primarily in the English language for an English-speaking public...
    • To save both of us time, I thought I'd just give you the best three sources I could find for GNG.
      Again, this is a niche academic journal. Sources simply talking about the journal are hard to find, but it is frequently cited in its field, and is one of a handful of early journals that wrote scholarship about Canadian-Ukrainian history, and Ukrainian history in English for Western audiences. Let me know what you think, or if this establishes notability enough for you to remove the tag. - Whisperjanes (talk) 01:22, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

• Hi, thanks for your efforts. Unfortunately, I'm not convinced. The above quotes are excellent examples of in-passing mentions. This fail both NJournals and GNG I fear. --Randykitty (talk) 16:37, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
