Comments on: Ranking political theory journals http://crookedtimber.org/2006/11/10/ranking-political-theory-journals/ Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made Mon, 13 Feb 2012 10:24:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Thom Brooks http://crookedtimber.org/2006/11/10/ranking-political-theory-journals/comment-page-1/#comment-178704 Thom Brooks Tue, 14 Nov 2006 12:00:12 +0000 http://crookedtimber.org/2006/11/10/ranking-political-theory-journals/#comment-178704 This is most helpful, Ingrid---thank you. Of course, the importance of ISI indicators is a primary consideration behind the <a href="http:mpj.sagepub.com/" rel="nofollow">Journal of Moral Philosophy</a>'s current application to join the ISI. However, as you note, we often don't have numbers at all for many of the journals political theorists find most important. That is surely worrying. I think looking for indicators of a journal probably a waste of time. It is best to judge each article on its merits. This is most helpful, Ingrid—-thank you.

I made a list of all journals mentioned in the comments (starting from Jacob Levy's useful proposal), and checked whether they were at all included in the ISI web of science (I looked at the sciences, social sciencs and arts and humanities citation indexes). I made 4 categories, those that were suggested as A, B, C, and those that were not ranked. Here are the results: A-category Ethics: 0.804 Political Theory: 0.506 Journal of political philosophy: 0.659 History of Political Thought: is included in the AHCI, but there is no journal citation report available. PPA: 1.241 Political Studies: 0.575 Review of POlitics: not in ISI BJPS: 0.785 B-category: Polity: here I got the strange result "not in your subscribed Journal Citation Reports editions" -- ?? PPE: not in ISI EJPT: not in ISI CRISPP: not in ISI CPT: not in ISI J of applied philosophy: not in ISI C-category: Social philos and policy: 0.098 STP: not in ISI Constellations: not in ISI Social Research: 0.185 Not ranked: Philosophy and social criticism: not in ISI Journal of Moral Philosophy: not in ISI Journal of Politics: 1.239 AJPS: 1.845 I may have made some mistakes, I am not even ruling out that I have not looked in the right place; but if this is roughly the correct result, than I think this should make us very critical about using these citation indexes (even if we would construct an impact factor ourselves by changing the yearspan etc.) for the purpose of research assessment excercises. Many of the journals you/we think are important, are simply not included in the ISI index. If that is true, than it is a real question mark whether inclusion in the ISI should be a necessary conditions for journals that want to count as good quality.

It is certainly true that AJPS and JoP do not exclusively publish history of political theory. I only meant to insist that they virtually do not publish anything beyond history of political theory: Peter Steinberger's work on Kant and Hegel in these and similar journals is a case in point. As for <i>Political Theory</i>, I would imagine it's position would change drastically if political theorists were ever surveyed again (not withstanding the curiosity of leaving out journals no less pol theory than pol phil, such as <i>Ethics</i>, <i>Philosophy & Public Afairs</i>, etc etc). I suspect that <i>Political Theory</i>'s more postmodern friendly turn has turned off the vast majority of political theorists and political philosophers. A pity for a journal that was once one of my favourites. I take much from Loren’s points. It is certainly true that AJPS and JoP do not exclusively publish history of political theory.

I added the qualifier

At my old university they did citation analyses (by university rather than for journals, but it could easily be done for journals) in 20-, 10- and 5-year spans by performing their own operations on the Web of Science database. So you could calculate journal impact factors over any number of years. I actually think citation counts have some merit -- are the objections to them any weightier than the objections to other possible methods of evaluation? But you do have to construct them properly, and a two-year timespan isn't proper.
