Opening discussion per WP:BRD-- secondary literature consistently uses the word "journal" to describe this publication and its predecessor, Questions Feministes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Seems like it'd be a departure to call it a magazine, no? Innisfree987 (talk) 00:30, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Look at the categories. We use "journal" in the sense of "peer-reviewed academic journal", which this definitely is not. Also, the external link goes to a publisher website, I don't see any mention there of this publication. --Randykitty (talk) 08:24, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for catching that link, fixed now. What makes you say this "definitely is not" peer-reviewed? Here's their submissions page describing their peer-review process (I take it you don't mind it's in French, but just for anyone who doesn't read French: anonymized submissions, two readers who can either reject, accept as is or accept pending revision--the usual.)
But I do feel obliged to note, I would have felt we should continue calling this a journal either way. Both our encyclopedia entry for academic journal and the WikiProject Journals page acknowledge "journal" doesn't always imply peer-reviewed. (For that matter, in my experience academics specify "peer-reviewed" because not all academics journals are.) Since all of these secondary sources in English do call it a journal, I think it's really not our place to decide differently. Innisfree987 (talk) 13:48, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
