Do the C journals make up some kind of residual category?
No. All the journals that are included in ERIH are by definition good scientific journals. As such, “C” journals are therefore defined by their scope, audience and, sometimes, authorship. They are important venues of publication, for example, for research of great importance for specific language communities. The “C” category represents the real European added value of ERIH. Unlike the journals in the two other categories, “C” journals listed in ERIH fully reflect the linguistic and cultural diversity of Humanities research production in Europe. For many of them, ERIH offers the first opportunity to gain wide visibility also within less specialised research communities.
