National journal lists: Norway, Finland, Brazil and others

Several countries keep their own list of approved journals and publishers, used to fund universities or evaluate researchers. They are set by panels of researchers per field, not computed from citations.

• Norway (the register of publication channels): level 1 for approved scientific channels, level 2 for the leading ones in each field, which carry more weight in the funding model.
• Finland (Publication Forum, JUFO): level 1 for basic, 2 for leading and 3 for top channels; level 0 means a channel does not meet the criteria.
• Brazil (Qualis, CAPES): journals rated in strata from A1 down, per evaluation area.
• Business schools often use lists such as the Academic Journal Guide or the FT50.

Lists differ from country to country and are revised regularly, so check the one your institution uses: Norway, Finland.
