  Se non ricordo male era una delle proposte fatte dall'universita' di 
Leiden dal Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) da *Henk F. 
Moed*, durante la conferenza di ElPUB che si e' tenuta a Milano nel 2009 
(http://conferences.aepic.it/index.php/elpub/elpub2009/schedConf/program). 
Non so se la cosa stia andata avanti credo che comunque alcuni 
aggregatori interessati ad entrare nel mondo delle citazioni e coprire 
dell'aree finora non coperte per diverse ragioni da ISI Web of Science e 
neppure da SCOPUS ci stiano pensando.

Intanto vi inoltro questa notizia apparsa sul sito di SURF a proposito 
di questo test di qualita' sulle riviste open access sviluppato appunto 
da CWTS e dalle universita' di Amsterdam e Tilburg.

*Developing quality test for new open access journals*

The number of scholarly and scientific open access journals is currently 
growing with more than a thousand a year. To ensure that the quality of 
these journals is guaranteed and at the same time give these new 
journals a fair chance, an objective quality test – one that can be 
applied internationally – is being developed for young journals.

The quality test will consist of a combination of two indicators, one 
for the quality of the editorial board and the other for the quality of 
the peer review process. The former indicator will be developed by the 
Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS <http://www.cwts.nl/>) 
at Leiden University. A team of young researchers at the Universities of 
Amsterdam and Tilburg will develop the indicator for the peer review 
process.

SURF <http://www.surf.nl/>(the national higher education and research 
partnership for ICT), Amsterdam University Press <http://www.aup.nl/>and 
the CWTS are taking the initiative to develop such an international 
quality measure. The initiative is supported by the national research 
funder the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO 
<http://www.nwo.nl/>) and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and 
Sciences (KNAW <http://www.knaw.nl/>).

*Forum of international experts*

During the international Open Access week in October 2012, the 
indicators will be assessed by a forum of international experts, made up 
of representatives of research funding bodies, the editors-in-chief of 
academic journals and publishers. The measure will be established on the 
basis of their opinion and then released. Publishers will then be able 
to indicate the “score” that their journals have achieved. The research 
funders can point the researchers to the score and thereby encourage 
them to publish in open access. It will also assist authors when 
deciding which journal to publish in.
