Article was PRODded before (frankly for an invalid reason), so here we are. The article claims (and this is backed up by MIAR) that the journal is included in Scopus. However, searching "Scopus Preview" for the ISSN or journal title shows that this is incorrect. It also proudly proclaimed to be "supported by Publons" (I deleted that particular gem). Even if true (I didn't check), Publons also "supports" OMICS journals, so this is not directly a glowing recommendation. Other indexing services listed were completely routine (GScholar, DOAJ, etc). In conclusion, this is a non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Hence: delete. Changing my !vote to keep, based on Headbomb's findings below: indexing in Scopus meets NJournals. Randykitty (talk) 21:46, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Also @Randykitty:, the journal has been accepted in Scopus in July 2021 (the title of the journal is Soft Computing in Civil Engineering). It took a bit of digging, but MIAR confirms it (under Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering). If you follow the MIAR Scopus link, you're taken to http://miar.ub.edu/indizadaen/2588-2872/scopus, which has the Scopus Excel list of sources, and you can find it under "Soft Computing in Civil Engineering" / ISSN 25882872 in the second tablet "Accepted titles July 2021".

Comment: I did check that Excel file, but looked for "journal etc", not realizing that Scopus would have it under a different title. So what is the correct title, do we need to move the article? I'll change my nom to a "keep" !vote, but as there is a "delete" !vote I cannot withdraw. WaddlesJP13, if you'd like to change your !vote in the might of Headbomb's findings, we can close this AfD. --Randykitty (talk) 09:30, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well the cover has "Soft Computing in Civil Engineering". But the website, ISSN, and inside of the journal (i.e. [1]) have "Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering". And the domain is jsoftcivil.com So my guess is Journal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering is the actual name of the journal. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:37, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually SCOPUS also has Journal of ..., I was too hasty in my comment above. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 09:41, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
