We made use of Social Network Analysis to study the Relatedness-data that were collected from the SSCI. This allowed us to draw and analyse their one-step-citation-neighbourhoods. In the results section we discuss questions regarding the cohesion, diversity, and fragmentation into subgroups of both networks for the period 2003-2013. When we take a closer look at the ‘European Societies’-network journals dedicated to social policy research and demographics seem to be of considerable importance, which could be a result of the ‘newly’ developed European research arena and its competitive research policy. Where we expected to see a more international and interdisciplinary pattern for ‘International Sociology’, a rather one-sided profile, mainly consisting of North-American journals, appeared to be the case instead.

Since 2013 ECOOM-UAntwerp has organised comparisons of the annual lists of journals submitted to VABB-SHW with Beall’s list(s) of the corresponding year, and, as of 2015, also with DOAJ (Rahman, Dexters, and Engels 2014; Rahman and Engels 2015; Rahman, Guns, and Engels 2015; Sīle, Guns, and Engels 2017).
This report results from a comparison of the list of journals submitted to the Authoritative Panel (abbreviated here as AP) of the VABB-SHW (Vlaams Academisch Bibliografisch Bestand voor de Sociale en Humane Wetenschappen). ECOOM-Antwerp submitted this list of journals to the AP in July 2017 (publications from years 2007-2016) and compared it with, firstly, Cabells Journal Blacklist and, secondly, the list of journals indexed in DOAJ.
