The quotas of levels 2 and 3 are determined for journals and series in each Panel on the basis of the size of the publication channels, in other words, their annual publication volume (see 4.5.1). The aggregate publication volume of the journal/series titles rated as level 2 must not exceed 20% of the corresponding publication volume of the journal/series titles in the panel’s list meeting level 1 criteria. The aggregate publication volume of the journal/series titles rated as level 3 must not exceed 25% of the corresponding publication volume of the journal/series titles in the panel’s list meeting level 2 criteria. In other words, the level 2 consists of 15 % and the level 3 of 5 % of the publication volume of the panel. The book publisher list is common to all panels, and to level 2 a total of about 100 publishers can be classified and to a total of about 10 publishers can be classified as level 3. The panels make suggestions for level 2 and 3 book publishers, and the chairs of all panels confirm the classification by common decision.
