What is the Master OPML File??

... collection of Information Systems journal notifications ...

First, you should check The Index of Information Systems Journals page.

Second, check the list of all journals.

The Master OPML file is a collection of these Information Systems journal notifications, i.e. addresses of RSS feeds of these publications.

BEWARE : bloatware / program crash

.... bloating ....

There are hundreds of RSS feed addresses in the OPML file(s).

Therefore you should install another (RSS) news reader than your favourite news reader / aggregator.

Test the OPML file in the other news reader / aggregator.

It is better to load OPML file first to a different RSS client.

Then it is easier to remove unnecessary feeds and load only wanted RSS feeds to the main RSS client.

IF your current program is a bloatware, it may not handle well hundreds of feeds.
