Philosophy

By Kate Devitt. Combines Brian Leiter's reputational rankings with Google Scholar rankings while controlling for differences in number of citable documents published by different journals. Latest version also incorporates Scimago Quartile rankings.

The APA and the British Philosophical Association (BPA) have collaborated in surveying philosophy journals; 79 journals were selected to participate, and 43 submitted responses. The survey, which was conducted at the end of 2014, requested data about the journals’ submission rates, acceptance rates, and review process over the previous three years (2011, 2012, and 2013). The survey also asked questions about the percentages of papers submitted and accepted that were written by women and members of minority ethnic groups. The responses were provided by journal editors, and in those cases where journals do not record this kind of information, editors received data from their publishers to enable them to give responses.

Information derived from the journal surveys submitted to the APA Journal Survey Project. Includes information to 182 journal titles: Initial withdrawals, Intial acceptance rate, R and R; number of submissions, overall acceptance rate, etc.

When you have a paper accepted for publication, you are encouraged to come here and fill out a survey, detailing the path your paper took to publication. If you still have the information on hand, you are encouraged to fill out surveys regarding previous publications as well. This project is partly inspired by Andrew Cullison's Journal Surveys site (though it is intended to serve a rather different purpose).

Looking to publish outside of philosophy discipline? Search Ulrich's to find journal published in other subjects, submission requirements, etc.

The decade numbers resulted from searching Google Scholar for citations from 2000 through 2010; the data was gathered May 25-27, 2010 by Jonathan Kvanvig and posted to his Certain Doubts blog.

Based on 5-year h-index (the largest number h such that h articles published in 2013-2017 have at least h citations each)
