Comparative journal rankings: a survey report

Abstract

The expert-survey and bibliometric methods of assessing the quality of work in political science are complementary. This project builds on previous surveys of academic political science journals conducted among US political scientists. The current wave extends the survey to political scientists in Canada and the UK. Preliminary results suggest both similarities and differences across the three countries. The full results of the project will be important for policy debate in any country that is considering channelling flows of funds to universities in proportion to the quality of their research; and in helping to supply objective evidence about the research quality of work submitted by candidates for academic appointments and promotions.
