Rating of Educational and Psychological Journals.
Luce, Terrence S.; Johnson, Dale M.
The threefold purpose of this study was to (1) assess the reputation of professional educational and psychological journals from educators' rankings; (2) compare these findings with rankings from psychologists; and (3) compare the rankings made by different educational interest groups. Usable questionnaires were returned by 682 American Educational Research Association members out of a random sample of 1,927. The top ranked journals were: American Educational Research Journal, Review of Educational Research, Harvard Educational Review, and Phi Delta Kappan. Journal rankings clearly reflected research interest areas, but more similarity was found among educational interest groups than between educators and psychologists. Tables list the top 74 journals overall; as well as the top ten journals for each of the following interest groups (administration, learning and instruction, measurement and research methodology, evaluation and program development, counseling and human development, curriculum and objectives, and social context of education); and for the types of institutions represented (higher education, public or private common schools, government, and nonacademic research).
