Apparently moribund journal, only 3 volumes published since 2003, no indication of notability besides indexing in Scopus. Does not meet WP:Notability (academic journals). Deprodded by anonymous IP with reason "Inclusion in Scopus is listed as and example of how to meet Criteriea 1 WP:Notability (academic journals)", but the fact that the journal has only appeared a few times and hasn't appeared since 2007 weighs more heavily to me.

• Delete. 26 articles published with the most cited having 8 cites in 5 years... definitely not evidence of an impact on the field. I can't find any mention of the journal in reliable sources. Fences&Windows 23:28, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I was asked about this journal on my talk page, and in response I added material to the article which demonstrates that it does not even meet the criterion of regular publication, is not indexed in Medline, & is essentially uncited. I am a little troubled at some of the journals Scopus has been adding, and i shall be inquiring further. I shall also be checking the other journals added by this contributor, all by the same publisher. A quick look shows that about half of them are not remotely notable.
