Sources "too close to subject"

The warning template got inserted in the first version of this page. To help in addressing this, I have some thoughts:

  1. Dagstuhl is a reputed academic institution that has a complex reviewing process for accepting journals. We need to distinguish "the journal" from Dagstuhl in the discussion, since the journal itself had to apply to Dagstuhl to win their support. I will try to dig up more information about the quality assurance process of Dagstuhl regarding new journals (e.g., they have an independent board of experts that decides on this).
  2. We mainly cite Dagstuhl for factual claims (licence, EB, previous publication dates) where they are clearly the primary authoritative source. I think that this is fine.
  3. I have also added a short section to show that the journal is recognized by DOAJ and DBLP, both independent external bodies with their own policies for including journals. Other indexing services pick up publications over time (some need three years or more, especially the services run by major commercial publishers), but I don't think that this largely automated process is adding much in terms of credibility. It's something that happens to any journal.

Anyway, I am happy to hear more ideas on what kind of further source would be desired here to address the template.
